Photographic Print : LHC tunnel, CERN
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
LHC tunnel, CERN
LHC tunnel, composite image. Safety supervisor riding a bicycle along the LHC (large hadron collider) tunnel at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC is a 27-kilometre-long underground ring of superconducting magnets housed in this pipe-like structure (blue), or cryostat. The cryostat is cooled by liquid helium to keep it at an operating temperature just above absolute zero. It will accelerate two counter-rotating beam of protons to an energy of 7 tera electron volts (TeV) and then bring them to collide head on. Several detectors are being built around the LHC to detect the various particles produced by the collision. A pilot run of the LHC is scheduled for summer 2007

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring LHC tunnel at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory nestled near Geneva, Switzerland. In this composite image, a safety supervisor fearlessly pedals his bicycle along the massive underground ring of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is an extraordinary 27-kilometer-long structure encased in a pipe-like cryostat (blue), which is cooled by liquid helium to maintain an operating temperature just above absolute zero. The purpose of this colossal scientific endeavor becomes apparent as we delve into its intricate workings. The LHC's primary objective is to accelerate two counter-rotating beams of protons to an astonishing energy level of 7 tera electron volts (TeV) before colliding them head-on. Surrounding this monumental feat are numerous detectors meticulously designed to capture and analyze the diverse particles generated by these collisions. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, it becomes evident that humanity's thirst for knowledge knows no bounds. This ambitious project represents our relentless pursuit of understanding fundamental aspects of our universe – from unraveling the structure of matter and exploring high-energy phenomena to delving into cosmology and unlocking technological breakthroughs. Intriguingly, this snapshot was taken during a pilot run scheduled for summer 2007 when scientists embarked on their quest for groundbreaking discoveries within these subterranean depths. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in pushing the boundaries of what we know about particle physics, all while riding on two wheels through one of science's most significant achievements – CERN's LHC tunnel.
