WORLD'S LARGEST AND HIGHEST-ENERGY PARTICLE ACCELERATOR

This is the largest machine in the world with a length of 27 km the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It is the largest and

highest-energy particle accelerator in the world intended to collide opposing particle beams. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) for testing various predictions of high-energy physics. It lies beneath the

Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. It is funded by and built in collaboration with over 10,000 scientist and

engineers from over 100 countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories.
