CERN Open Days 2013, Point 8 - LHCb: LHCb Experiment

Stand description: Fourteen billion years ago, the Universe began with a "Big Bang" in which energy coalesced to form equal quantities of matter and antimatter. LHCb is an experiment set up to explore what happened after the Big Bang that allowed matter to survive and build the Universe we inhabit today. During the visit the LHCb detector located 100 metres below ground will be shown together with the nearby section of the LHC. On surface no restricted access An LHC dipole magnet and a module used to accelerate protons will be show at the surface.
