Check it out! They've got a Large Hadron Collider exhibit where they held the Maker Faire last year. I Don't think I'm allowed in here, but what the hell? let's go. Whoa, look at that. That's a lot of brass.

It's a lot of brass. It's an accelerating cavity. Here you go, they've got is that like a hey, it looks like the real deal? You don't That's a little machined. It's a machined brass sphere.

It reminds me of the Sperry on sonar which I worked on for a little bit or part a little part of it when I was working at Tallies back in the day. don't know what that is Teva Tron focusing magnet. There you go from 1982 So they've pulled these out of the archives. Beautiful and it looks like we've got a dark auditorium.

so please excuse the yep Here we go. We've got a continuously running show but I definitely have to come back and like check this out properly because you've got to read like everything and it's a OOP OOP OOP This is where beams are created. Yes, I've done a well. I've done a video on accelerator.

Anyway, most of the LHC ring is made from incredibly powerful magnets. Yes, it is. Inc Australians will understand M'k if you watch young Einstein Anyway, if you haven't watched a young Einstein I Highly recommended. Classic Australian movie.

Anyway, that's look at that is that a big copper like Taurus in the middle or something I don't know LHC tunnel accelerating cavity. There you go Prototype: They work in a chilly minus two hundred and sixty eight point seven degrees and sitting in a bath of liquid helium to keep them cool cool pun intended as soon because they have bikes around soon because you've got to get around huge. Wow Wow Superconducting Dipole Magnet shirts. Look at that.

They've welded little bits on the end and few in the middle like that. but basically they just shoved on those rods and and serious bit Sackett Dipole Magnets Slice sounds delicious. That is terrific I Won't try and pretend I Know the physics behind all this stuff I Will Not pretend. Superconductor Flower Oh I Like the superconductor flower Wow Ornamental Flower Meter Okay, it's all mental.

LHC Tunnel Beam Pipe section That's not very exciting. Oh you know, look at how there is that copper that they've formed in there I Don't know. We've got another focusing magnet slice beam on their wall. that was freaky.

I Always thought it was a tunnel Wow Tada we have a 3d presentation. Ah, study in 30 seconds I Won't spoil it. You'll have to come to the Powerhouse and see for yourself. Magnet Interconnect: There you go.

Sweet! It's one of the prototypes. so they've got real stuff here so they must have shipped it. Would have been heavy to ship a lot of the stuff. Oh, we got more.

Here we go. I Don't know what that is, but this looks interesting. Wow A detector Vertex Locator modules Beauty experiments designed to make very precise measurements of processes involving beauty particles known as bottom quarks. This helps us to learn how matter, not antimatter came to dominate the universe since just seven metres sillim seven millimeters from the collision point closer than any other detector in the LHC Wow There you go! That's an awesome bit of kid with the tools.
It's incredible your that the fine traces Wow that's impressive and are these these connecting cables coming out? Wow Stan That is stunning. He is absolutely stunning. I Have no I'd Love to know the physics behind how that works. That is fantastic.

Wow The very low detector. We get around the actual collision points so the tracks that are produced in the collision, the particles attributes, and the collision go through the detector and they leave our mark in a detector which allows us to say where the particle average after the collision and we will measure sufficient number of points to be able to join the dots up like for you, back to where they came from and hence calculate size each collision point and reconstruct. The Velo opens and closes Because the silicon is very, very sensitive and is easily damaged, we wanted to ensure that it was well away from the proton beams during the injection process. so the Velo is in an open position where the two sensors are about six centimeters apart during the proton injection.

But once the collisions have been established and the beams are stable, the two halves are brought together to a closed position so there's a silicon census. Complete us around with the instrument. Thank you! Very much known honest person explaining that. Oh Girish Potato perhaps at the LHC Be experiment is to better handle on Wow That is terrific Wow Another thing that looks thoroughly impressive: more detectors.

Transition Radiator Tracker section Silicon Tracker Pedal Compact Muon Solenoid experiment Wow Look at those. look at there a custom silicon of course driving that. It's fine tracers going out to I Don't know how the sensor works right? Sorry got no idea of the physics behind the actual sensor electronics. I Understand: Very nice.

Lots of flat flakes going on in there. but yeah, look there like something there Silicon tracker? Well, it's a silicon tracker pedal. Awesome! This is so impressive. They've got tons of stuff here.

Large ion collider experiment Alice There you go. Time of flight Hmm I Don't know I'm sure there's a lot of impressive physics going on in there Oh Lots of lots of din backplane connectors on there Wow Wow And so very cool exhibit they've got. Yep, this is very nice. It's all like one of the scientists.

She's like, ah, she's excited because she's just discovered something she's founded. She's discovered it. This is very cool. Hats off to the organisers of this and that's it.

That's the exit that is brilliant. Wow Hope you like that you're in. Sydney Definitely come check it. out.

    Awesome, very cool indeed. It's amazing how they came to put this together and the experiments that lead up to the first prototype being manufactured. How this all works is really cool and many great minds have advanced us a long way as a result. It just goes to show what can be achieved when countries work together instead of fighting with each other.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Gordon says:

    I've never paused a video like this one! 2016 yup, just now

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Savneet Singh rai rai says:

    The copper wire runs along the tunnel in parallel…instead winding along the core…it's the particles accelerator…bothpoles runs along tube so called bi polar…..also featured in terminator 3…

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Davis says:

    The most authentic part of that exhibit was the mock hallway at the end. That is exactly how CERN looks. Also I broke LHCb's velo once. Just knocked a connector loose but they were pissed.

    Just some advice, don't trust the tour guides when they talk about the physics. They usually don't bother to give accurate explanations to the tourists. Visited there with fellow physics students and professors and we landed in one of those tourist presentations about accelerator physics. About 60-80% of what the guide said was utter bullshit.
    But atleast i can confirm that the stuff you filmed here are realistic models (Or in some cases real) modules and their desriptions are accurate

    SERN is evil

    If you do take Dave's advice and visit while on holiday, expect to use up a whole day. Museums are massive time-sinks. Every time I visited one when I went to Europe, I either used up the whole day and left satisfied after seeing most of what was available, or only saw a fraction of what was available before running out of time.

    WOW YOUNG EINSTEIN REFERENCE!
    I try to tell my friends that Young Einstein is a movie but they don't believe it exists, even that Nostalgia Critic Doug guy doesn't want to deal with that movie.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bodragon says:

    Great Video Dave and you even say "aitch"! (as in "El-Aitch-See" [LHC]). WooHOO !!! Music to my ears. Go Dave !!

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ivy Nova says:

    If you want to learn the physics about how these parts all work, I'd be happy to let you pick my brain on that.

    Just seeing this stuff makes me want to go back to making my own (albeit quite a bit smaller) accelerator experiment.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Albino Tiger Barb says:

    Cool! I'm from Hong Kong and I've seen this exhibition for two times, once in Hong Kong and once in Sydney! I still miss those components of the particle accelerator so much! I hope I can visit the exhibition again!

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ิฑำฮฒะฏฦ says:

    if im not mistaken, that first piece is part of the LEAP before it became the LHC

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DalanarTV says:

    Those Detectors thought

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SoCalFreelance says:

    They look like they could be components from the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Malcolm Easton says:

    gay.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ben Smith says:

    Thanks for doing this video, it looks like a seriously impressive exhibit. Those VELO modules are just beautiful, whomever did the layout for those boards didn't go to the same school as those at Esinomed ๐Ÿ™‚

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars PinBallReviewer says:

    Aaawww but I am in the states.
    Lucky you have that cool stuff. ๐Ÿ™‚

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Kelsall says:

    I'd love another look around CERN, this time without pissing them off by turning the job down. ๐Ÿ™‚

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gerff says:

    I would love to go, but I am a few thousand miles away. Would like even more to go to CERN itself, but this would be cool as well.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alex Trofimov says:

    Dave I never get tired of being amazed of broadness of your interests.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars megavettes says:

    China is building a much larger collider from what I understand

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aron Gooch says:

    SCL SDA. Time to connect an Arduino Uno up to that impressive sensor and not do that much with it.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ExStatic Bass says:

    Yeah, I get it…. What ever happened to Yahoo Serious? It's like the bloke fell off the face of the planet or something. His movies were great. Best prop humor I've ever seen and I'm not even from Oz or NZ. Young Einstein and Mr Accident are a couple of my favorites though. Reckless Kelly was fun too but I didn't like as much as the others…

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gordon Chin says:

    I bet it smelled really good in there.
