The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN research center in Geneva is the largest research tool in the world. After some reconfigurations in its detectors, the colossal machine will soon be pushing even farther into the mysterious world of exotic subatomic particles.
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Physics have helped design new components for the giant accelerator’s ATLAS detector, and they are now being installed. When the accelerator goes back online, the researchers at CERN hope it will provide new evidence of one of the field’s most mysterious hypothetical substances - dark matter.
