CERN is colliding protons near the speed of light, 99.999% after accelerating them in the main ring, where they collide them in four different detectors; the ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, and LHCb. These sensors take snapshots of these collisions, which measure the energy and magnetic forces produced by these collisions. The detectors determine the spin and the angle of momentum as well. | CERN is colliding protons near the speed of light, 99.999% after accelerating them in the main ring, where they collide them in four different detectors; the ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, and LHCb.
