This is a presentation for a research project Regarding the LHC experiment prepared and presented by me during the first semester at Edexcel-HND.

2. CERN’s Large Hadron Collider
THE ANTI-MATTER Prepared by : Alaa Moussa
& BLACK HOLES

3. Confusing!?
 What Is CERN?
 LHC The Big bang machine?
 What Is the Antimatter (Angles and demons)?
 What is the black hole & Can we create one?

5. So what IS CERN?
 The European Organization for Nuclear Research
 Physicists from 20 Member States in Europe .
 Founded in 1954.
 More than 6,500 physicists work at CERN.
 CERN is where the web was born.

6. LHC stands for Large Hadron Collider
 Large due to its size (approximately 27 km in
circumference).
 Hadron because it accel-erates protons or
ions, which are hadrons.
 Collider because these particles form two beams
travelling in opposite directions, which collide at
four points where the two rings of the machine
intersect.

9. The accelerator
Electric waves speed particles up
Magnets bend them
in a circle

10. What happens inside?

11.  The largest machine in the world… The collider is contained in
a circular tunnel 27 kilometers long , at a depth ranging from 50 to 175
meters underground.
 The fastest racetrack on the planet... A proton in the LHC will
move at about 99.9999991% of the speed of light. And will go round the
27km ring over 11,000 times a second.
 The emptiest space in the Solar System…ten times less
than the pressure on the Moon!

12.  The hottest spots in the galaxy, but even colder than
outer space... 1000 million times hotter than the heart
of the sun.
 The biggest and most sophisticated detectors ever
built... Very large cathedral-sized, better than hair-
width accuracy, 40 million snaps per second
 The most powerful supercomputer system in the
world... tens of thousands of computers forms the Grid.

13. Theoretical Antimatter
Production Inside the LHC

14. What Is the Antimatter?
 When antimatter comes into contact with matter it
annihilates, it converts 100% of its mass into pure
energy.
E=mc2
where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum, which is
299,792,458 meters per second.
 ½ gram?...of antimatter could…liquidate everything
in a half mile radius, the energy released equals
10,000 kilotons, ( The Hiroshima atomic bomb was
equivalent 20,000 kilotons.)

15. Imaginary Antimatter explosion

16. The LHC & Black Holes
 Black holes are sites of immense gravitational
attraction into which surrounding matter is drawn by
gravitational forces.
 The LHC Might generate microscopic black holes
produced by the collisions of pairs of protons, each of
them has an energy comparable to that of a
mosquito in flight which make them barely
noticeable.

17. LHC Black hole worst case
scenario

18. Now you know
 CERN
 LHC
 Antimatter
 Black holes
