Michael Hauschild takes the reader of this essential back to September 2008 to the bumpy start of the Large Hadron Collider LHC, the world's largest particle accelerator and today's world machine at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research near Geneva, Switzerland; one of the most fascinating research centers of all. The author explains how the initial ideas led to the creation of the large collaborations at the LHC, alliances of up to 3,000 physicists. It is these collaborations that use huge particle detectors to measure the collisions at the LHC, hoping to discover new particles. After a stop of more than two years, the LHC was put back into operation in the spring of 2015 to discover the secrets of nature at higher energy than ever before.

The launch - the very first beam, the accident, the inauguration, the Higgs Plan - the experiments - collaborations - particle detectors - impulse and energy, the onion-skin principle, cathedrals of science.
