=__Isotope and Radioactivity__= = = =Name of radioactive isotope/electromagnetic radiation/scientist:= = = = = =Explanation of interesting facts: (how used/works.experiments/discoveries)=
 * 1) Intended to collide opposing particle beams into each other of either Protons at 7 TeV per particle or Lead Nuclei at 574 TeV per Nuclei.
 * 2) Lies in a tunnel that is 17 miles in circumference and more then 570 feet below the ground.
 * 3) The Protons are accelerated from0.54 teslas to 8.3 teslas, making the Protons move at about 99.99% the speed of light.
 * 4) 1600 superconducting magnets each weighing thousands of pounds and more then 96 tonnes of liquid nitrogen is needed to keep these magnets at operating temperature.
 * 5) So far they have only been able to make a collision of 900 GeV.

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

1. Some benefits of discovery would be finding something that hints towards how the universe was created.

2. It will determine whether or not there are other universes.

3. And what the nature of quark-gluon plasma was in the universe.

=3 Disadvantages of using the radioactive isotope/radiation/discovery:= 1. It costs a very large amount of money to make and to upkeep.

2. It may not reveal anything and be a total waste of time.

3. It takes a long while to be able to be able to find a way to make the protons move at a speed fast enough for them to test what they are looking to test.

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

Yes, it is still used today because they still have not figured out what they have hoped it will explain, such as Higgs boson and a group of new particles predicted by supersymmetry.
