Large Hadron Colliders
摘要
A great idea (two-in-one magnets) makes it possible to install the proton-proton collider LHC in the tunnel previously occupied by LEP. It was tasked to find the last missing particle of the standard model, the Higgs boson. Enabled by a very large beam energies and intensities this elusive particle was discovered by the ATLAS and CMS detectors in 2012. Subsequently many other of its parameters were determined. In the future upgrades to higher collision rates and to higher energies will expand the capabilities of LHC far beyond the present level.
