The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's highest energy particle accelerator.

You will also see Long Haul Carrier (LHC) applied to communications systems and also to transportation (usually trucking).

Who invented the hadron collider?

A scientific research organisation called CERN made the LHC. It is completely non-commercial, and is funded by a consortium of 20 nations with the intent of advancing research in particle physics.

Could the Large Hadron Collider destroy the Earth?

No, it can't. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a large (high energy) particle accelerator, and it is the most powerful one ever built on this rock. There is some talk about the LHC creating tiny black holes. The energy of the colliding particles will be really over the top, but a black hole is created when gravity overcomes all other forces to trap and compress a significant quantity of mass into a singularity. The energy of "creation" that appears when the LHC slams stuff together will be too high to allow the gravity associated with the events to actually create a black hole. And this takes into account the increase in mass associated with relativistic velocities. This is similar to the "scare" associated with the test of the first hydrogen bomb (a nuclear fusion weapon). Someone ideated that the intense heat that would cause the fusion events to begin would result in the creation of so much energy that the atmosphere would begin the undergo fusion. This would cause the chain to go out of control and destroy the earth. This did not happen - because it could not. (The "geometry" of the blast is "wrong" for this to occur.) And the LHC creating those little black holes? Keep dreamin' about it. Some numbers on paper suggest things that reality won't support.


What do the side slits stand for?

The side slits stand for a deep ocean trench.


What are recent happenings in science?

The most recent includes geological interests, the volcano in Iceland which created a huge cloud of ash and dust, which has closed Britain's airports since the explosion. Also a bit earlier was the LHC (large hadron collider) project, when scientists collided two particles into one another. And it was successful.

Is the lhc going to make a black hole?

One of the LHC's objectives is to create micro black holes. These holes are so small however, they evaporate into radiation almost immediately.


What is LHC in citrix?

The LHC is a name given to the MS Access database which is created on every local MPS server. it stores the partitions of the Data Store to keep the server function, when an outrage occurs. when the data store goes offline, the server will continue functioning normally. the LHC database enables the data store functionality up to 48 hours. LHC will ensure the data accessibility that is pertinent locally, even though the database is not available.


At what time exactly does the LHC do its first collision?

10 September 2008,[4] at 7:30 GMT the LHC turns on to fire a test beam, not necessarily colliding any particles.
