World's largest particle physics lab gets new accelerator
The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), the world's largest particle physics laboratory, inaugurated its newest linear accelerator, Linac 4. The 90-metre-long machine, over three times more powerful than its 39-year-old predecessor, would increase the potential of CERN's experiments. It would help discover new physics and study the 'God Particle' Higgs boson in detail, said CERN.
