The Large Hadron Collider at the European particle physics laboratory, CERN, is the world’s most powerful accelerator for scientific discovery. Buried 300 feet below Switzerland and France, the LHC smashes particles at never-before-seen energies in the hopes of unlocking some of the deepest mysteries of the physical universe. Through a series of public lectures, the particle physics community takes audiences on a virtual tour of the LHC accelerator and its massive particle detectors, explain first results, and share the excitement of the anticipated discoveries that lie ahead.
