Large Hadron Collider (LHC)




The U.S. has contributed $531 million to the construction of the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle collider, located in Europe. From the LHC Remote Operations Center at Fermilab, U.S. scientists will participate in the startup of the machine.





More than 900 scientists from the U.S. work on the CMS experiment at the LHC. Sifting through proton-proton collisions, scientists may find signs for dark matter particles, new subatomic forces and perhaps extra dimensions of space.
