Let’s know a few things out of many about the Large Hadron Collider in this mini article. 10) The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and highest-energy particle accelerator in the world. 9) It was built and advanced during 1998 to 2008, by CERN (the European Organization for Nuclelar Research). 8) The main aim behind the invention and processing of LHC was to understand and test the predictions made by different theories in particle physics. However, the most targeted aim was to know about the existence of a sub-atomic particle, Higgs boson . 7) The existence of LHC is a result of contributed efforts made by more than ten thousands scientists and hundreds of laboratories and universities played role in the contribution of Large Hardon Collider’s development. 6) It i...
