- Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland might have discovered a brand-new force of nature.
- LHC is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator.
- It is present in the European Council for Nuclear Research’s (CERN’s) accelerator complex.
- It was first started up on 10 September 2008.
- It has a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way.
- It is designed to produce proton-proton collision.
- Inside the accelerator, two high-energy particle beams travel at close to the speed of light before they are made to collide.
- The beams travel in opposite directions in two separate beam pipes kept at ultrahigh vacuum.
- They are guided around the accelerator ring by a strong magnetic field maintained by superconducting electromagnets.
