Facts about Large Hadron Collider; World’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator
LHC is a 27 kilometer ring of superconducting magnets cooled to -271.3˚C, a temperature even below the
temperature of outer space
which is -270.5˚C. It lies 50-175 meters underneath the surface. 1232
Dipole magnets, 15m in length are used for bending the beams and 392
quadrupole magnets, 5-7 meters long are used to focus them.
Awesome and mysterious Quantum Mechanics
While Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden were bombarding Gold foils with Alpha particles in 1909 leading to the
discovery of atomic nucleus, Chemists were finishing analysis of gas emission spectrum. When light obtained from heating up gases in a glass tube was passed through a prism, it formed distinct lines of light of different colors for example in case of Hydrogen...
