Composite image of Large Hadron Collider
Large Hadron Collider. Composite image showing how the proposed Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator might appear in the existing LEP tunnel at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory near Geneva. A computer illustration of the LHC has been combined with a photograph of the LEP in its 27- kilometre ring-shaped tunnel. The LEP (Large Electron-Positron) accelerator is the rectangular structure on the floor. The LHC design shown here (the large cylinder) is based on magnet units built for engineering test purposes; as of mid-1995 the last design and engineering details had not been finalised

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a composite image of the awe-inspiring Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator, providing us with a glimpse into its potential appearance within the existing LEP tunnel at CERN. The European particle physics laboratory near Geneva serves as the backdrop for this extraordinary fusion of computer illustration and real-life photography. In this composition, we witness the rectangular structure of the LEP accelerator gracefully resting on the floor, while towering above it is the magnificent LHC design represented by a large cylinder. It is worth noting that these visuals are based on magnet units constructed specifically for engineering test purposes, as final design and engineering details were yet to be finalized in mid-1995. The sheer magnitude and complexity of this scientific marvel become apparent through this striking image. The LHC's 27-kilometer ring-shaped tunnel stretches out before our eyes, symbolizing humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding in particle physics. As we delve into this visual masterpiece captured by Science Photo Library, we find ourselves transported to an extraordinary realm where cutting-edge technology converges with human ingenuity. This photograph encapsulates not only Switzerland's contribution to scientific advancement but also highlights CERN's pivotal role as a global hub for nuclear research. Let us embrace this profound testament to human curiosity and innovation as we continue unraveling the mysteries of our universe through endeavors like those undertaken within CERN's remarkable Large Hadron Collider.
