The LHC, an accelerator of science

CERN is soon to commission the world’s most powerful accelerator, the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), which will provide us with new insights into the Universe and how it evolved. This series of lectures is all about understanding the scientific and technological challenges of this phenomenal project.


Thursday, 6 December at 8:00 p.m.
John Ellis, CERN physicist

Is the LHC set to turn the theories of the infinitely small on their head? The physicists hope that the accelerator will shake up the Standard Model, the theory of elementary particles and forces, which leaves many questions unanswered. The LHC and its experiments have been designed to shed light on them.

Lectures are free and require no specialist knowledge.
