The Large Hadron Collider

8 Feb 2012 | Accelerator | The 27-kilometre LHC is the world's largest particle accelerator. It collides protons or lead ions at energies approaching the speed of light

The Super Proton Synchrotron

23 Jan 2012 | Accelerator | The second-largest machine in CERN’s accelerator complex provides a stepping stone between the Proton Synchrotron and the LHC

The Proton Synchrotron

23 Jan 2012 | Accelerator | A workhorse of CERN's accelerator complex, the Proton Synchrotron has juggled many types of particle since it was first switched on in 1959

CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso

23 Jan 2012 | Accelerator | To unravel some of the mysteries surrounding neutrinos, CERN sends a beam through 732 kilometres of solid rock to the CNGS project in Italy

The Antiproton Decelerator

23 Jan 2012 | Accelerator | Not all accelerators increase a particle's speed. The AD slows down antiprotons so they can be used to study antimatter
