From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (French: Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire), known as CERN (see History), pronounced /ˈsɜrn/ (French pronunciation: [sɛʀn]), is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, situated in the northwest suburbs of Geneva on the Franco–Swiss border (46°14′3″N 6°3′19″E / 46.23417°N 6.05528°E), established in 1954. The organization has twenty European member states, and is currently the workplace of approximately 2,600 full-time employees, as well as some 7,931 scientists and engineers (representing 580 universities and research facilities and 80 nationalities). CERN's main function is to provide the particle accelerators and other infrastructure needed for high-energy physics research. Numerous experiments have been constructed at CERN by international collaborations to make use of them. It is also noted for being the birthplace of the World Wide Web. The main site at Meyrin also has a large computer centre containing very powerful data processing facilities primarily for experimental data analysis, and because of the need to make them available to researchers elsewhere, has historically been (and continues to be) a major wide area networking hub. As an international facility, the CERN sites are officially under neither Swiss nor French jurisdiction. Member states' contributions to CERN for the year 2008 totalled CHF 1 billion (approximately € 664 million). From Wikipedia under the

I wonder if the black holes produced in the super collider that CERN is going to start will be a cause of matter being destroyed. When is it scheduled to start?

This is my last resort! I am not a slakcer as I have already written over 1 and a half pages about the detectors at CERN and the experiments they did. A list of the particles would be most helpful Thanks in advance Tom G Asked by LEGS - Mon Aug 25 06:35:31 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. According to Wikipedia, ' Several important achievements in particle physics have been made during experiments at CERN. These include, but are not limited to, the following. 1973: The discovery of neutral currents in the Gargamelle bubble chamber. 1983: The discovery of W and Z bosons in the UA1 and UA2 experiments. 1989: The determination of the number of neutrino families at the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP) operating on the Z boson peak. 1995: The first creation of antihydrogen atoms in the PS210 experiment. 1999: The discovery of the direct CP-violation in the NA48 experiment. The 1984 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Carlo Rubbia and Simon van der Meer for the developments that led to the discoveries of the W… [cont.] Answered by . - Mon Aug 25 07:07:50 2008 What are the posters on the London Underground with a gold ball, CERN, Obama and a yoga lady about?

A full list of images are as follows: Barack Obama outside Number Ten Downing Street A golden football A young boy in swimming shorts A woman in a sports vest doing some kind of stretch The CERN Large Hadron Collider David Cameron walking past Winston Churchill This is obviously a big outdoor campaign for someone, but they are keeping quiet about it and it is generating a decent amount of buzz around London. My best guess at the moment is that it's for a news outlet, either a newspaper or TV News, or at a longer shot a new TV show. Television is traditionally a big outdoor advertiser, but it doesn't explain why the focus seems to be on the London Underground network UPDATE: These adverts in The Times and thelondonpaper as half… [cont.] Answered by foggy691 - Wed Sep 24 22:36:19 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "CERN"  news.google.com PhysOrg.com The scanner, which incorporates technology developed at the world's leading particle physics research centre, CERN , was recently shipped to research ...
