Brookhaven and the LHC

The world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland, opens new avenues to explore the deepest mysteries of the Universe. In addition to serving as the U.S. host laboratory for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, the Brookhaven National Laboratory plays multiple roles in this international undertaking, from construction and project management to data storage and distribution.
