Large Hadron Collider

The video explains the workings of the world's largest machine, focusing on its 27-kilometer acceleration ring. It covers the five principles of particle acceleration: generating, accelerating, guiding, colliding, and detecting. Protons are generated from hydrogen gas, accelerated through linear and circular tubes, and guided by magnetic fields. They collide at near-light speed, producing new particles, including the Higgs boson, which is detected by six detectors around the ring.
