  1. LHC Overview

  2. In the beginning… There is a bottle of hydrogen gas…

  3. from which protons (p+) are extracted

  4. and accelerated to ALMOST the speed of light (c)…

  5. usingthe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for the final stage before…

  6. forcing protons traveling in one direction to collide with protons traveling in the opposite direction.

  7. Studying these collisions using huge detectors such as…

  8. the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) that…

  9. provides the following details and…

  10. AToroidal LHC ApparatuS (ATLAS) that…

  11. provides these details.

  12. And it’s all done within view of spectacular Mount Blanc!

  13. u u u d d d Electron Neutron Proton The LHC brings us to the elementary level… Elementary particles, that is!

  14. Here’s a closer look at protons and neutrons, composed of the elementary particlesup (u) & down (d) quarksand held together by gluons (g).

  15. These particles are organized into one nice, neat package known as the Standard Model.
