View of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment Tracker Outer Barrel (TOB) in the
cleaning room. The CMS is one of two general-purpose LHC experiments designed to
explore the physics of the Terascale, the energy region where physicists believe
they will find answers to the central questions at the heart of 21st-century particle
physics. (Maximilien Brice, © CERN)
The Globe of Innovation in the morning. The wooden globe is a structure originally
built for Switzerland's national exhibition, Expo'02, and is 40 meters wide, 27 meters
tall. (Maximilien Brice; Claudia Marcelloni, © CERN)
Assembly and installation of the ATLAS Hadronic endcap Liquid Argon Calorimeter. The
ATLAS detector contains a series of ever-larger concentric cylinders around the central
interaction point where the LHC's proton beams collide. (Roy Langstaff, © CERN)
Checks are performed on the alignment of the magnets in the LHC tunnel. It is vital
that each magnet is placed exactly where it has been designed so that the path of the
beam is precisely controlled. (Maximilien Brice, © CERN)

The LHCb electromagnetic calorimeter. This huge 6X7 square meter wall consists of 3300
blocks containing scintillator, fibre optics and lead. It will measure the energy of
particles produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC when it is started. Photons,
electrons and positrons will pass through the layers of material in these modules and
deposit their energy in the detector through a shower of particles. (Maximilien Brice,

Aerial view of CERN and the surrounding region of Switzerland and France. Three rings
are visible, the smaller (at lower right) shows the underground position of the Proton
Synchrotron, the middle ring is the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) with a circumference
of 7 km and the largest ring (27 km) is that of the former Large Electron and Positron
collider (LEP) accelerator with part of Lake Geneva in the background. (© CERN)
