Large Hadron Collider,CERN

— the world’s most powerful particle accelerator ever constructed —

>protons are circulated in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, where they’ll eventually be forced to collide. The way the accelerator works is as follows. In a series of stages, the accelerator: ionizes normal matter, stripping electrons off of nuclei until just bare protons remain,then it accelerates those protons up to some substantial energy, as an applied voltage (and an electric field) cause those protons to accelerate,then it uses a combination of electric and magnetic fields to collimate those particles,where they’re injected into a larger, circular accelerator,where magnetic fields bend those moving particles into a circle,while electric fields kick those particles, on each pass, to slightly higher energies,as the magnetic fields increase in strength to keep those particles moving in that same circle,and then those particles are collimated as before and injected into a larger, higher-energy circular accelerator,where electric fields “kick” them to higher energies and magnetic fields “bend” them to remain in a circle,up to some maximum energy, in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, and when that energy is achieved, those particles are then “pinched” in particular locations, so they’ll collide together where they’re surrounded by state-of-the-art detectors.
