The researchers, working on an experiment called OPERA, beamed neutrinos through the earth's crust, from CERN, the laboratory for particle physics
near Geneva, to Gran Sasso National Laboratory in L'Aquila, Italy, an
underground physics
lab.
In the experiment, researchers will send a beam of neutrinos 800 miles through the Earth — from Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
near Chicago to Sanford
Lab, where a four - story - high, 70,000 - ton
underground detector will catch the particles.
Keen to avoid a similar debacle, CERN, the European particle physics
lab near Geneva, Switzerland, took the momentous decision to cram the LHC into an existing circular tunnel 100 metres
underground, which had been built in the 1980s for the Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider.
