Particle Accelerator Promises To Provide A Powerful Punch.(Brief Article)

From: Electronic Design | Date: March 22, 1999| Author: Engelke, Roger | Copyright information

A joint treaty between European and U.S. officials has now paved the way for global collaboration on the Large Hadron Collider--a particle accelerator under construction near Geneva, Switzerland. The accelerator, estimated to cost nearly $6 billion, is being built at the European Particle Physics Laboratory known as CERN and will be housed inside an existing accelerator tunnel that crosses the French-Swiss border. When completed in 2005, it will have a circumference of roughly 16 m...
