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

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
