| Summary: | Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a high energy particle collider built by CERN in 1998 to
allow physicist to test the predictions of different particle physics theories. The LHC
primarily collides proton beams, but it can also accelerate in lead-lead collisions and
proton -lead collisions. One of the majors discover were the discovery of Higgs Boson in
2012. Given the monumental achievements of LHC, yet its massive size of 27 kilometers
in circumference and tremendous cost make it significantly challenging for future
particle physics endeavors.
In this project, past and present technologies of particle accelerator and future concepts
are studied and reviewed, aimed at miniaturizing the LHC. The paper will discuss the
background of particle accelerator, detailed studies of the different particle accelerator
technologies available, followed by the component that make up a particle accelerator.
Finally, this paper will provide a comprehensive overview of miniaturization strategies
for particle accelerators, offering insights into some of the future concept available by
implementing them with the current technologies. |
