In Pictures: The Higgs boson phenomenon
Have we found the God particle??
The Linac 2 (Linear Accelerator 2) is pictured at the CERN in Meyrin near Geneva. The current accelerator, built in 1978 and which will be replaced in 2013 by Linac 4, separates hydrogen gas into electrons and protons and provides protons beams to the LHC that scientists at the CERN use to re-enact the conditions of the "big bang" that created the universe.
