Description
ALICE detector, computer model. ALICE is A Large Ion Collider Experiment" for the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva, Switzerland. It is shown surrounding part of the LHC, a 27-kilometre-long underground ring that will accelerate ion beams to collide head-on. The collision energy will create new particles that will decay into products that will be detected. The detectors include a detector for muons (cone-shaped), a time projection chamber (grey) for longer-lived particles, a calorimeter (green), a photon spectrometer (red, above people) and a high-momentum detector (blue, upper centre). The LHC should start operating in 2007."
