The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator complex that will collide opposing beams of 7 TeV protons together in order to explore the validity and limitations of the highly successful current theoretical picture for particle physics, the standard model, which is known however to break down at sufficiently high energy. It is being built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies under the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland, where it is undergoing commissioning while being cooled down to its final operating temperature of approximately 2K. The first beams are due for injection in August 2008, with the first collisions planned to take place about two months later.[1] The LHC will become the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator.[2] The LHC is being funded and built in collaboration with over two thousand physicists from thirty-four countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories.
When activated, it is theorized that the collider will produce the elusive Higgs boson, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and "missing links" in the Standard Model of physics and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.[3][2] The verification of the existence of the Higgs boson would be a significant step in the search for a Grand Unified Theory, which seeks to unify three of the four known fundamental forces: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, leaving out only gravity. The Higgs boson may also help to explain why gravitation is so weak compared to the other three forces. In addition to the Higgs boson, other theorized novel particles that might be produced, and for which searches[4] are planned, include strangelets, micro black holes, magnetic monopoles and supersymmetric particles.[5]
Spanish:
El Gran Colisionador de Hadrones (en inglés LHC; [mostrar el lugar en un mapa interactivo] 46°14′N 6°03′E / 46.233, 6.05) es un acelerador y colisionador de partículas localizado en el CERN, cerca de Ginebra (Suiza). En la actualidad está en fase de construcción y comenzará a operar (a energías reducidas) la segunda semana de agosto de 2008. Se espera que el LHC llegue a ser el laboratorio de física de partículas más grande del mundo, cuando su circuito de 7 TeV esté completado. El LHC ha sido financiado y construido en colaboración con más de doscientos físicos de treinta y cuatro países, universidades y laboratorios.
Se convertirá entonces en el acelerador de partículas más grande del mundo. El nuevo acelerador funcionará a 271 grados centígrados bajo cero y usa el túnel de 27 km de circunferencia creado para el Gran Colisionador de Electrones y Positrones (LEP en inglés). A diferencia del acelerador primeramente concebido, en el nuevo colisionarán protones (un tipo de hadrón) en vez de electrones y positrones (leptones).
La principal meta de su rediseño es encontrar la evasiva particula másica conocida como el bosón de Higgs (a menudo llamada "la partícula de Dios"[1] ). La observación científica de éste podría explicar cómo el resto de partículas elementales ganan la masa que explica la teoría de la relatividad especial y rellenar el ansiado hueco libre en el Modelo estándar.
