1. LHC  Facts and figures  Experiments involved  Aims  How it works

2. Facts and figures  27 Km  14 TeV  High speeds  Capable of accelerating heavy ions  5 main experiments http://atlas.ch./

3. Main experiments  ALICE  ATLAS  CMS  LHCb  TOTEM A Large Ion Collider Experiment A Toroidal Lhc ApparatuS Compact Muon Solenoid LHC beauty TOTal cross section, Elastic scattering and diffraction dissociation

4. How it works  It needs to be in a vacuum  Magnets keep the beam focused and make it go in a circle  The beams are accelerated by electric fields http://lhc-machine-outreach.web.cern.ch/lhc- machine-outreach/components/magnets.htm

7. Huge scale project  Involving whole international community  Projects taken over 10 years planning  Potential of discovering new physics, that could change our future  Higher speeds, higher energies  Perhaps new problems to be solved, that as yet not even thought of!
