Experimental Setup
摘要
The LHC [1–3] is the most powerful particle accelerator ever devised. Located in a circular underground tunnel of 26.7 km radius near Geneva at the Swiss-French border, this scientific marvel is designed to accelerate protons to energies up to \(7\,\text {TeV}\) , and lead atoms to up to \(2.8\,\text {TeV}\) per nucleon, which are the highest achievable energies till date.
