The Large Hadron Collider is the world's most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC will collide beams of protons (from hydrogen nuclei) travelling at 99.999999 percent of the speed of light. As the beams circle inside the LHC completing the 27-kilometre(17 mile) circuit 11,000 times per second, their energy will reach unprecedented levels. When two protons collide, 14 trillion electron-volts of energy will be released, which could be enough to produce new types of particles that nobody has eve...
