CERN to get new 'SciFi' detector with 10,000 km of fibres
Scientists associated with CERN, which houses LHC, the world's largest particle accelerator, are building a new detector, a scintillating fibre tracker dubbed 'SciFi', to harvest more data from the collider. Particles would travel through 10,000 km of fibres giving off light signals helping scientists understand what happened after the Big Bang, why antimatter disappeared, and what is dark matter.
