LHC is the Large Hadron Collider, an accelerator being built at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland. When it is complete in the summer of 2008 it will be the largest and highest energy accelerator in the world. Here are the stats: Type of collision: proton-proton Center of Mass Energy at Collision: 14 TeV (7 times energy of the Fermilab Tevatron) Diameter of Ring: approx 27 km Average depth of ring below ground: approx 100 m Main particle Detector Systems: ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, ALICE Hoping to Discover: Higgs boson, Graviton, Supersymmetric Particle, Extra Dimensions... LHC Online is dedicated to bringing the excitement of the Large Hadron Collider and the new physics it will reveal to high school students and teachers. You can't necessarily come to CERN but you can come right here for student investigations, news, and an online community connected to the LHC. Blog Central Learn about the LHC and how the whole enterprise is going from students, teachers, and physicists. LHC Postings is the student blog for LHC online, dedicated to news and personal observations on the LHC An American Family in Geneva is the blog written by a Fermilab accelerator physicist about his year at CERN QN Postings is the QuarkNet staff blog US LHC Blogs, where physicists do the blogging on the LHC Student Investigations The EPPOG Masterclass EPPOG, the European Particle Physics Outreach Group, has created the Masterclass as a way for students and teachers to work in a particle physics investigation. The project puts students, teachers, and physicists together in an international collaboration. Mysterious Beamline Signals in the ATLAS Detector We have a small dataset of decays of an unknown particle into groups of four leptons. The Inner Detector gives us momentum information. Could this be the higgs? The CMS Test Beam e-Lab This project is still under development. It will allow students to analyze the response of the CMS detector to different particles using real test beam data from CERN.
