The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is an experimental piece of equipment which is providing data on the beginning of the universe and how atoms are made. It simulates what happened at the Big Bang. The ultimate aim is to find the God Particle, which was needed for the Big Bang to occur.

Where can someone find CERN particle accelerator?

CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is located underground near Geneva, Switzerland on the Franco-Swiss border. It is housed in a circular tunnel spanning 27 kilometers in circumference. Access to the site is restricted and visitors can take guided tours of certain areas.


What is the name of the Particle accelerator complex located beneath the Franco-Swiss border?

It is called the CERN accelerator complex. The complex consists of the following Particle accelerators: Linear accelerator I & II, Proton Synchrotron Booster, Low energy ring, Proton Synchrotron, Super proton snchrotron, and the Large Hadron Collider (as of Oct 18, 2009.)


CERN the worlds largest particle physics laboratory is situated in the suburbs of which city on the Franco-German border?

CERN is situated in Meyrin, which is close to Geneva.Officially the whole complexe, including the Large Hadron Collider and other accelerator belong to Switzerland, but geographically CERN is located at the border of France and Switzerland (not the Franco-German border;))


Can a particle accelerator give you superpowers?

No, a particle accelerator cannot give you superpowers.


Why was cern the largest particle physic laboratory located near Geneva in news recently?

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, was in the news recently due to the completion of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) upgrade. The LHC is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator, and the upgrade aims to increase its luminosity which will allow scientists to study particles with greater precision.

Is the story of the 'Angels and Demons' written by Dan Brown really true Does CERN really exist?

The story in "Angels and Demons" is a work of fiction written by Dan Brown. CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) is a real organization located in Switzerland that conducts particle physics research, including the famous Large Hadron Collider (LHC). However, the events portrayed in the book are fictional and not based on real occurrences at CERN.


Which is the world leading particle physics research centre?

CERN in Geneva

How large is the Large Hadron Collider?

The LHC is a total of 27 kilometres (17 miles) long, running along the French - Swiss border. It is 3.8 metres wide.


What does a particle accelerator do to atoms?

Nothing unless the atoms form a target. A PARTICLE accelerator accelerates PARTICLES not atoms.
