AI overview

CERN is a large international scientific laboratory based near Geneva that studies particle physics, the science of the smallest building blocks of matter and energy. Founded in 1954 and now involving 24 member countries, it operates the world's most powerful particle physics equipment to help scientists understand fundamental questions about how the universe works.

L'Organizzazione europea per la ricerca nucleare, comunemente conosciuta con la sigla CERN (AFI: /ˈʧɛrn/; in francese Conseil européen pour la recherche nucléaire), è il più grande laboratorio al mondo di fisica delle particelle, posto al confine tra la Francia e la Svizzera, alla periferia ovest della città di Ginevra, nel comune di Meyrin. La convenzione che lo istituiva fu firmata il 29 settembre 1954 da 12 stati membri mentre oggi ne fanno parte 23 più alcuni osservatori, compresi stati extraeuropei. Scopo principale è quello di fornire ai ricercatori gli strumenti necessari per la ricerca in fisica delle alte energie ovvero principalmente gli acceleratori di particelle, che portano nuclei atomici e particelle subnucleari ad energie molto elevate, e i rivelatori che permettono di osservare i prodotti delle collisioni tra fasci di queste particelle: ad energie sufficientemente elevate, nelle collisioni vengono prodotte tantissime particelle diverse; in alcuni casi sono state scoperte in questa maniera particelle fino a quel momento ignote.
