Learning Activity: New York Standards
On a circular track a little over sixteen and a half miles in circumference, subatomic particles travel at nearly the speed of light (186,000 miles per second).
This new physics particle accelerator is called the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC. Situated at the premier European particle physics laboratory (CERN), the LHC accelerates two beams of protons, traveling in opposite directions around the circular accelerator, and collide them head-on at several spots around the ring.
Your ProQuest Platinum statewide subscription addresses several essential questions for critical thinking related to the pros and cons of the LHC: What are the anticipated benefits to the experiments with the LHC? What are the dangers that many claim will be the result of experiments with the LHC?
