The search for new elementary particles requires ever higher energies in experiments, which must be generated in modern particle accelerators. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is currently the most powerful facility in the world and can be described as the most complex mechatronic system ever built. In his lecture at the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW) in Mosbach, Dr. Gunter Kabisch outlines the image physicists have today of the smallest building blocks of matter and the means they are using at CERN to try to answer open questions in elementary particle physics with the LHC. What puzzles do the universe, modern physics and technology contain? With the help of the Large Hadron Collider, scientists from all over the world are trying to uncover the secrets of the world. As the responsible employee of a component supplier during the development phase of the LHC, speaker Dr. Gunter Kabisch was in direct contact with CERN. In his talk, he explains some of the impressive technical data on the LHC and presents important results that have already been obtained in recent years with the various detectors of the LHC, such as the outstanding detection of the long-sought Higgs particle.
