CERN Machine Protection – A Future Safety System? CERN Machine Protection – A Future Safety System? 4 We use the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter. These instruments are particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before they are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these collisions. Our flag-ship project is the Large Hadron Collider…
