India Helps Unlock Universe's Secrets: From The God Particle To Dark Matter | CERN's Next Mission
The world's largest scientific machine—the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN—has shut down after completing a landmark phase of discoveries, including the Higgs Boson, popularly known as the God Particle. Now, the $5-billion particle accelerator is entering a $1.5-billion High-Luminosity upgrade, with operations set to resume in 2030. The next phase aims to search for dark matter, explore physics beyond the Standard Model, and recreate conditions that existed just after the Big Bang.
