CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is situated in an underground tunnel 100 meters below the surface with a circumference of 27 km. It is employed in experiments that propel protons to nearly the speed of light before colliding head-on.
Kyocera's Fine Ceramic components perform a pivotal role in controlling protons and measuring experimental outcomes, enabled by their unparalleled reliability and distinctive attributes that ensure elevated levels of airtightness, insulation, and heat resistance.
