Particle Cascade By Dan Whiteley & Adam Esmail
2
Research
3
European Organisation for Nuclear Research Geneva, Switzerland known as CERN
4
Experiments at CERN Total Cost $6 Billion 10 Years to prepare Done in conditions at almost 300ºC 6500 scientists work on the experiments, representing 80 countries.
5
The Atom protons neutrons electrons
6
500 trillion in one of these Protons and Neutrons. This is the number of protons in one gram! Approx. 6 x 10 23
7
HadronsLeptons ‘ Heavy Particles’ ‘Light Particles’ 0 + - protons neutrons electrons
8
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ++ 1,000,000,000 km/h ! KABOOM!

12
The ‘Big Bang’
13
Time: 0 seconds Temperature: Infinite All forces were one Gravity Strong Nuclear
14
Time: 1 trillionth of a second Temperature: 1000 trillionºC Gravity Strong Nuclear ElectromagneticWeak Nuclear
15
Time: 1 millionth of a second Temperature: 100 trillionºC quarksleptons
16
Time: 1 thousandth of a second Temperature: 1 trillionºC Quarks make up hadrons
17
Time: after 100 seconds Temperature: 10 millionºC Helium nuclei form
18
Time: 100 thousand years Temperature: 10 thousandºC Atomic Era Hydrogen Atom: 1 proton, 1 electron
19
Time: 1 million years Temperature: 1000ºC Everything starts to cool down Stars and galaxies form
20
Time: 14 billion years (present day) Temperature: -270ºC Background Radiation
21
The LHC will help find out… … what happened during the Big Bang
22
PHYSICS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THESE!
