Notes:
European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) is the world’s largest nuclear and particle physics laboratory. CERN is based in Geneva on the French-Swiss border. It has 23 member states. CERN’s mission is to provide a unique range of particle accelerator facilities that enable research at the forefront of human knowledge and to perform world-class research in fundamental physics.
Key achievements of CERN: The Higgs boson, The W boson, The Z boson, The Large Hadron Collider, The Birth of the web, Antimatter.
India in 2016 became an associate member of the CERN.
ATLAS and Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) are two general-purpose detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). They investigate a wide range of physics, from the search for the Higgs boson to extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter.
