Hadronitörmäytin
Hadronitörmäytin is the Finnish term for a hadron collider. A hadron collider is a type of particle accelerator that collides beams of hadrons, which are composite subatomic particles made of quarks and/or antiquarks. The most common hadrons are protons and antiprotons, and also neutrons and antineutrons, though the term "hadron collider" most frequently refers to proton-proton or proton-antiproton colliders. These machines are used in particle physics research to study the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern their interactions.
The principle behind a hadron collider is to accelerate two beams of hadrons in opposite directions around
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is the world's largest and most powerful hadron collider, and
