China will build a super particle accelerator

China announced it would build the largest accelerator ever made. Besides asiatic project, CERN accelerator will be small, boasts Chinese researchers. If the accelerator will be completed by 2028, China will take the biggest advance in particle physics research.

Researchers at the Institute for High Energy Particle Physics in Beijing will focus in particular on the Higgs boson. "God particle" was discovered at CERN 2 years ago, after almost 50 years of theoretical speculation.

It was possible thanks to the LHC. If this is compared with a huge sledgehammer capable of smashing high-energy particle accelerator Chinese use less energy, which will result in collisions "cleaner" and thus an easier data analysis. Scientists are confident that this will enable them to disceanrna if the Higgs boson is indeed an elementary particle, according to the Standard Model, or something more complex.

The accelerator will have a circumference of 52 kilometers. For comparison, CERN ring has a diameter of only 27 kilometers. Price of the accelerator could rise to $ 3 billion, not too exaggerated, if we consider China's economy. Once put into operation, super collider Chinese could give birth again fears that will create a black hole that could destroy the Earth. The same theories have appeared in CERN's case.
