The scale of the LHC. The area under which the tunnel for CERN's LHC can be found is shown near to Geneva and lac Leman. The French Alps with Mont Blanc can be seen in the background. The ATLAS site is at the 2 o'clock position. Photo #: 0107014_01old
The four main LHC experiments. This diagram shows the locations of the four main experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb) that will take place at the LHC. Located between 50 m and 150 m underground, huge caverns have been excavated to house the giant detectors. The SPS, the final link in the pre-acceleration chain, and its connection tunnels to the LHC are also shown. Photo #: 9906026
CERN from the air. CERN's Globe of Science and Innovation exhibition centre and the nearby Meyrin site are seen from the air. The surface buildings which provide access and support for the ATLAS experiment, one of four experiments on the LHC, can also be seen on the right. Photo #: 0507030_06
