Large Hadron Collider
The world’s largest atom smasher has proved invaluable at answering fundamental questions about the nature of the universe, including finding the Higgs boson. A team of University of Nebraska-Lincoln physicists has been part of a multi-institutional collaboration that built the original Compact Muon Solenoid experiment, one of two large particle detector experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN Laboratory in Switzerland.
