The Large Hadron Collider – Hi Res
Posted on April 27th, 2008 by Chris Heath
The Large Hadron Collider is a large physics project buried 100 meters underground on the French/Swiss border at CERN. Six experiments will be positioned around the LHC’s ring. They are ATLAS, ALICE, CMS, LHCb, LHCf and TOTEM, they vary in size with ATLAS being one of the biggest. ATLAS will be 5 storeys high, 46 metres long and 25 metres in diameter, and will weigh about 7,000 tonnes. This picture is of ATLAS during construction in May 2005 before it was filled in with all the technology and the ends closed up.
