Largest machines on Earth will be described at AAAS today by their central planner
Two of the largest machines ever conceived by scientists will be described today by one of the world's leading experts on particle colliders, the massive and expensive machines used to explore inner space by smashing particles together at super-fast speeds.
Cornell University physicist Maury Tigner, director of Cornell's Laboratory for Elementary Particle Physics (LEPP) in Ithaca, N.Y., is playing a major role in two of these machines: the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), being built at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, for which he serves as chairman of the machine advisory committee, and the International Linear Collider (ILC), being planned by an international team, for which he is chairman of the steering committee.
