Goal

  • Help build and maintain The Large Hadron Collider
  • Enable physicists to compare theory with experiment, in the search for new fundamental particles and provide answers to questions about the Universe.

Methods

  • The classic LHC@home application Sixtrack, are simulations of accelerator physics, and help researchers at CERN to build and improve the LHC.
