The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be the most powerful instrument ever built to investigate particles properties.
• Four gigantic underground caverns to host the huge detectors
• The highest energy of any accelerator in the world
• The most intense beams of colliding particles
• It will operate at a temperature colder than outer space

We don't know everything!
Why three generations?
There are three "sets" of quark pairs and lepton pairs. Each "set" of these particles is called a generation, or family. Each set of quark and lepton charge types is called a generation of matter (charges +2/3, -1/3, 0, and -1 as you go down each generation). The generations are organized by increasing mass.

We don't know everything!
Supersymmetry?
Some physicists attempting to unify gravity with the other fundamental forces have come to a startling prediction: every fundamental matter particle should have a massive "shadow" force carrier particle, and every force carrier should have a massive "shadow" matter particle. This relationship between matter particles and force carriers is called supersymmetry. For example, for every type of quark there may be a type of particle called a "squark." No supersymmetric particle has yet been found, but experiments are underway at CERN and Fermilab to detect supersymmetric partner particles.

We don't know everything!
Higgs boson?
The LHC will help solving all these unsolved mysteries
The Standard Model cannot explain why a particle has a certain mass. For example, both the photon and the W particle are force carrier particles: why is the photon massless and the W particle massive? Physicists have theorized the existence of the so-called Higgs field, which in theory interacts with other particles to give them mass. The Higgs field requires a particle, the Higgs boson. The Higgs boson has not been observed, but physicists are looking for it with great enthusiasm.

Summary
• CERN is the largest laboratory for particle physics research in the world
• It was founded 57 years ago and has built the most powerful particle accelerator in the world in 2008
• The particle physics studies the matter in its smallest dimension and deepens the human being’s understanding about the nature
• Research at CERN advances the development of technology, e.g. WWW was invented at CERN at the end of 1980’s
• Welcome to CERN, we wish you have a pleasant visit
