List of Large Hadron Collider experiments
open-in-new
<p>This is a list of experiments at <a href="/facts/CERN/y1gwRchm">CERN</a>'s <a href="/facts/Large_Hadron_Collider/XWJCFSqT">Large Hadron Collider</a> (LHC). The LHC is the most energetic <a href="/facts/Particle_collider/j6wTDohV">particle collider</a> in the world, and is used to test the accuracy of the <a href="/facts/Standard_Model/LhVGf9ow">Standard Model</a>, and to look for physics <a href="/facts/Beyond_the_Standard_Model/UX68py44">beyond the Standard Model</a> such as <a href="/facts/Supersymmetry/hkWGrMet">supersymmetry</a>, <a href="/facts/Extra_dimensions/HmH0gUjw">extra dimensions</a>, and others. </p><p>The list is first compiled from the <a href="/facts/SPIRES/PwvvUno6">SPIRES database</a>, then missing information is retrieved from the online version CERN's <i>Grey Book</i>. The most specific information of the two is kept, e.g. if the SPIRES database lists December 2008, while the <i>Grey Book</i> lists 22 December 2008, the <i>Grey Book</i> entry is shown. When there is a conflict between the SPIRES database and the <i>Grey Book</i>, the SPIRES database information is listed, unless otherwise noted. </p>
