Discover how protons are accelerated to almost the speed of light to collide at LHC, studied by CMS and ATLAS detectors. Explore the world of elementary particles and the Standard Model.

In the beginning… There is a bottle of hydrogen gas…
usingthe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for the final stage before…
forcing protons traveling in one direction to collide with protons traveling in the opposite direction.
u u u d d d Electron Neutron Proton The LHC brings us to the elementary level… Elementary particles, that is!
Here’s a closer look at protons and neutrons, composed of the elementary particlesup (u) & down (d) quarksand held together by gluons (g).
These particles are organized into one nice, neat package known as the Standard Model.
