About CERN
Physicists and engineers at CERN (from the French for European Council for Nuclear Research: Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) use the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – fundamental particles. Their goal is to advance the boundaries of human knowledge by delving into the smallest building blocks of our universe. To gain insight into how subatomic particles interact, CERN employs purpose-built particle accelerators and detectors to boost beams of particles to high energies, observe the beams as they are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets and record the results of these collisions. CERN operates the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way.
