The LHC - The Large Hadron Collider. What is the LHC, how does it work?

Built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the Large Hadron Collider is the world's most powerful particle collider and the most complex experimental facility ever constructed. The aim of the LHC is to allow physicists to test predictions of different theories of particle physics, including measuring the properties of the Higgs boson. The LHC first went live in September 2008.
