Record breaking energy generated in LHC collider
Q. What new record was made by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on 20th May’15 in its run after a two-year upgrade?- Published on 17 May 15a. Protons collided at the record breaking energy of 20 TeV
b. Neutron collided at the record breaking energy of 1 TeV
c. Electrons collided at the record breaking energy of 15 TeV
d. Protons collided at the record breaking energy of 13 TeV
ANSWER: Protons collided at the record breaking energy of 13 TeV
Scientists at Cern in Switzerland achieved test collisions between protons - the ‘hearts’ of atoms - at 13 tera-electron volts (TeV) for the first time.
