LHC equipment,CERN
LHC equipment. Cryogenic unit for the LHC (large hadron collider) in the 27-kilometre tunnel at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva,Switzerland. The LHC is an underground ring of superconducting magnets housed in a pipe-like structure (lower left),or cryostat. The cryostat is cooled by liquid helium,contained within this distribution feed box,to keep the operating temperature at just above absolute zero. The LHC works by accelerating two counter-rotating beams of protons to an energy of 7 tera electron volts (TeV). It then forces these beams to collide head-on near two main detectors,known as the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) and ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus),which detect the sub- atomic particles resulting from the collision. The LHC is scheduled to start operating in May 2008
