A simulated collision event viewed along the beampipe.

The event is one in which a mini-blackhole was produced and decayed immediately. The black area in the center with many particle tracks represents the inner detector (pixel detector, semiconductor tracker, and transition radiation tracker), which has been enormously magnified relative to the rest of the detector (in this view) . The colors of the thin tracks have no significance. The thick yellow lines are the two electrons in this event. The green area is the electromagnetic calorimeter, while the red area is the hadronic calorimeter. The green and red histograms show the energy deposits by particles in the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters. A muon was added by hand to the event to show how it would look in the detector; it is a thick blue line in the inner detector and orange in the (blue) muon chambers.

  • The LHC is not a weapon. The worst terrorists could do is destroy the machine. Which would cost billions.

  • Go get your Nobel prize!

  • BOOM YOU JUST killed earth awesome cya in the afterlife!

  • The theory is that mini-black holes do not have enough mass to grow, and evaporate quickly the moment they are created. Black holes suck in mass, and the more mass a black hole gets the bigger it gets and it takes billions of years for this to happen.

  • umm sound like goes up in supernova it not a chemcial at all i know it really just unsable engery cos two proton colide inside capsule once get cold it will create something like 50 -100 kiloton or more engery shockwaves you see it goes around in loop at 100 % of speed of light clockwise and anti clockwise

  • what if terrorist get his hand on this weapon there nothing you can do to stop it leased the unsable engery

  • so what did really happend when they made this ??? i mean when the 2 things colided i am still here so there didnt come a black hole... but what then?

  • Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure of the Universe.

    Hay dos cosas infinitas: el Universo y la estupidez humana. Y del Universo no estoy seguro. Albert Einstein

  • when will it acutally collide?

  • I can't wait for the LHC to start generating data, it will truly by a great time for physics.

  • a bloody magnetic monopole did sneak into my home. but i fought it off with a broom stick
