B+LHC

=Ryan K.= =** Isotope and Radioactivity ** = = = =Name of radioactive isotope/electromagnetic radiation/scientist:= = Large Hadron Collider =

= = = = =Explanation of interesting facts: (how used/works.experiments/discoveries)=
 * 1) The protons will be sent in beams at the speed of light so that they will collide into each-other.
 * 2) There are 4 significant detectors in the LHC, the ATLAS looks for signs of new physics, the CMC looks for clues to the nature of dark matter, the ALICE will study a liquid form of matter called quark-gluon plasma that existed shortly after the Big Bang, the LHCb will investigate what happened to the missing antimatter during the Big Bang.
 * 3) The Large Hadron Collider is located 328ft underground between Switzerland and the France border.
 * 4) The beams move around the LHC ring guided by 9300 magnets.
 * 5) To avoid colliding with gas molecules inside the accelerator, the beams of particles travel in an ultra-high vacuum, the cavity is as empty as space.

=3 Advantages of using the radioactive isotope/radiation/benefits of discovery=

1. To discover how the Big Bang started.

2. To increase our knowledge about the universe

3. To find out what gives particles mass.

=3 Disadvantages of using the radioactive isotope/radiation/discovery:=

1. Cost = 3 ,000,000,000€

2. The amount of time it takes to fix a minor problem.

3. The size of the ring.

=Is the radioactive isotope/radiation/discovery still used today? Explain=

The LHC is used today, but is undergoing repairs because of a leak in the cooling systems causing a large amount of Helium to escape.
