CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest and most powerful particle collider, is scheduled to restart in fall 2009, and more than 100,000 Analog Devices data converters will play a key role in helping scientists discover what the universe is made of and how it works by studying the debris created by the collision of sub-atomic particles.![Large Hadron Collider]()

October 16, 2008: The Linac 2 (Linear Accelerator 2) is pictured at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Meyrin near Geneva . The current accelerator, built in 1978 and which will be replaced in 2013 by Linac 4, separates hydrogen gas into electrons and protons and provides protons beams to the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) that scientists at the CERN use to re-enact the conditions of the "Big Bang" that created the universe.World's Largest Atom Smasher
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest scientific machine. Built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) at a cost of $10 billion the atom smasher, intended to enact the conditions of the "Big Bang," has worked only nine days and has yet to smash an atom, but CERN plans to restart the collider in November in hopes of unlocking secrets of the universe.
