The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) has reignited the Large Hadron Collider for the third time in July2022
● A giant, complex machine ➔ studies particles that are the smallest known building blocks of all things.
● It fires two beams of protons ➔ at the speed of light in opposite directions inside a ring of superconducting electromagnets.
● The magnetic field by electromagnets keeps the protons in a tight beam.
● This Magnetic field guides them along the way as they travel through beam pipes and finally collide.
● Achievements - ‘God Particle’ discovery during the LHC's first run.
ExtraShots-
India and CERN -
● India became an associate member of CERN in 2016.
● Indian scientists ➔ played a significant role in the A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) and Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiments that led to the discovery of the God Particle.
