About LHC and CMS
-
Particle accelerators create collisions between particles at high velocities to generate physics events that scientists can study.
​
-
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most powerful accelerator in the world
-
CMS, one of 4 detectors in LHC, is a general-purpose detector at LHC
-
The CMS is built around a solenoid magnet to bend the paths of particles from collisions in the LHC. Accelerators are a key tool in testing our fundamental understanding of the world
