Cern: Experiments

Curated by ACT

Read about the six experiments at the Large Hadron Collider: ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS), CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid), LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty), TOTEM (TOTal Elastic and diffractive cross section Measurement), and LHCf (Large Hadron Collider forward). Each section provides general information on each experiment's purpose.
