CERN Large Hadron Collider: How it works

The video tutorial explains the operations at CERN, located near the French-Swiss border in Geneva. It describes the four main detectors: CMS, LHCb, Atlas, and Dallas, focusing on the search for the Higgs boson. Protons are accelerated in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by stripping hydrogen atoms of electrons and feeding them through a series of boosters, culminating in the Super Proton Synchrotron. Protons travel in opposite directions through vacuum tubes, colliding at the detectors at millions of collisions per second.
