The Large Hadron Collider
The Development of the Project Geneva, 17 June 1994. As early as 1977, during preparatory discussions for building CERN1‘s Large Electron Positron collider (LEP), it was clear that excavating the LEP tunnel would make more economic sense if it could be reused for a successor machine. Thus, while LEP was being designed and built in

The LHC, A world project
Geneva, 17 June 1994. Since the mid-1980s the number of scientists from all over the world using CERN1‘s facilities has increased enormously. Currently more than 6,000 users, over half of the planet’s high-energy physicists, carry out fundamental research at CERN. This user community is living proof that CERN welcomes inter- regional collaboration which benefits all

The LHC, the technological challenge
Geneva, 17 June 1994. Physicists at CERN1 talk almost casually about recreating conditions that existed only 10-12 second – a millionth of a millionth of a second – after the ‘Big Bang’, when our Universe might have been no bigger than a pinhead! This is however exactly what the high energy proton-proton collisions in the

First International Conference on the World-Wide Web
Geneva, 25 May 1994. World-Wide Web is the world’s most powerful networked information system. It was originally conceived and developed at CERN1, where large high-energy physics collaborations created a demand for instantaneous information sharing between physicists working in different universities and institutes all over the world. Now it has millions of academic and commercial users.
