LHC: The Large Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron Collider (or LHC) is the world’s most powerful particle accelerator.  In 2012, scientists used data taken by it to discover the Higgs boson, before pausing operations for upgrades and improvements.  In the spring of 2015, the LHC will return to operations with 163% the energy it had before and with three times as many collisions per second.  It’s essentially a new and improved version of itself.  In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains both some of the absolutely amazing scientific and engineering properties of this modern scientific wonder.
