The Large Hadron Collider:
http://home.cern/topics/large-hadron-collider
“The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex.”
The Supercollider That Never Was:
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-supercollider-that-never-was/
“If all had gone according to plan, the gargantuan U.S. high-energy physics project would have already found the Higgs particle, having solidly won the competition with its European competitor.”
How the Higgs Boson Gives Things Mass:
http://www.livescience.com/34045-higgs-particle-mass.html
“The infamous Higgs particle has a weighty task: It grants all the other elementary particles their mass. Without it, they — we — would zip around frantically at the speed of light, too foot-loose to form atoms. But how does the Higgs do it?”
How Particle Accelerators Work:
http://www.energy.gov/articles/how-particle-accelerators-work
“On a basic level, particle accelerators produce a beam of charged particles that can be used for a variety of research purposes.”
What’s A Hadron?:
https://profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/largehadroncolliderfaq/whats-a-hadron-as-in-large-hadron-collider/
“The Large Hadron Collider is a wonderful and exciting machine. But first things first — what’s a hadron??!! A hadron is any particle that is made from quarks, anti-quarks and gluons.”
Linear Accelerator 2:
http://home.cern/about/accelerators/linear-accelerator-2
“Linear accelerator 2 (Linac 2) is the starting point for the protons used in experiments at CERN. Linear accelerators use radiofrequency cavities to charge cylindrical conductors.”
Why Hydrogen Have Only One Atomic Number?:
http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=3682
“That is an interesting question. The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons that atom has. Almost every atom is made of three different things: protons, neutrons, and electrons.”
