The particle accelerator which will replace the LHC, popularly known as the “God Machine” could be a tunnel of 44 kilometers and linear, the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). The decision will be taken in 2020. The project was presented yesterday by physicists at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) Steinar Stapnes and Lucie Linssen, in a series of lectures on particle physics.
the great accelerator LHC now underway will run until 2035 but the international physics community has now been working on the next big machine that by mid-century will lead global research on the subject.
“CLIC is a global partnership under study that would expand the results in physics at the LHC, which could be considered the next big thing in particle physics, “the speakers.
in particle accelerators, particles subatomic are accelerated to nearly the speed of light and when they collide with each other, the great energy that lead becomes new particles with mass.
Studying these new particles is the goal of physicists, that this feature large detectors that collect and process the huge amount of data generated in collisions. The LHC is the largest accelerator currently underway and consists of an underground ring 27 km long. Is expected to operate until 2035.
CLIC would measure 44 kilometers and will be a straight line. The decision whether to build or not will be taken by 2020 and 2025 CERN will be busy with the project to improve the LHC, so the effort to develop CLIC, if approved the project would not begin until after 2025.
