| The tunnel that houses the accelerator ring of the LHC is probably CERN’s most distinctive feature. Measuring 27 km in circumference, much of the ring exists under land in France, while the majority of CERN’s other facilities are in Switzerland. Scientists need such a large ring in order to accelerate particles to the enormous levels of energy required in some experiments. The underlying principles are similar to those in a linear accelerator. But with machines like the LHC, scientists can accelerate the particles as far as needed by just making them "run laps" around the ring. dipole magnet Superconducting dipole magnet in the LHC. photo: CERN The LHC will be constructed in the tunnel that now houses the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP), which has been the site of experiments searching for the Higgs Boson. The LHC is expected to be up and running by 2005. Particles will enter the LHC from the Super Proton Synchotron. They'll be moving with extremely high energies. Such extreme conditions require very strong magnetic fields to control the direction of the beams. The magnets used to do this are called "superconducting" magnets, because the materials they are made of can conduct electricity at very low temperatures without incurring any resistance. In order to make them superconducting, the magnets have to be cooled with liquid helium to 1.9 degrees Kelvin, about 300 Celsius degrees below room temperature. end of dipole magnet End view of the 15-meter dipole magnet. photo: CERN The LHC tunnel will actually hold two side-by-side beam pipes to accelerate beams of protons that are moving in opposite directions. Those beams will be smashed together, and the resulting spray of particles will be analyzed. To study what happens when the beams collide, there will also be two new detectors installed in the LHC. These huge detectors will handle as much as 10 million pieces of information for each collision in the beam pipe. |
