Document Summary
Goal is to find higg"s boson: why particles have mass. Point of experiment to find those exotic particles that are the result of the collision of the particles (colliding @ 99. 999 % c) We may se evidence of extra dimensions and questions of dark matters when it runs at full speed. These are the basic concepts that will be tested -> refer to slide. You need those superconducting magnets to bend the proton beam. Beginning time - from hubble constant (1/h: we will narrow in that number. Filled w/ cool, low-energy microwave radiation: discovery 1960s. Inflation universe grows quickly in size, in a fraction of a second. Filled w/ microwave (low energy, not hot) wavelength. Structures such as stars, galaxies, groups of galaxies. Past: smaller, and back enough, there are no galaxies or stars -> just a sea of elementary particles, radiation.
