Nestling in the foothills of the Alps is Europe's largest
laboratory, the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) and Progress SonicMQ is powering one of it's greatest acheivements.
Scientists at CERN have embarked on what they say is their biggest experiment ever, the hunt for a particle which gave the universe its form. Its scientific name is the Higgs Boson, but because it is so fundamental in shaping the universe, others have called it the God particle.
To help with that hunt is a collider that is designed to accelerate protons to energies of 7 trillion electron volts and then smash them together, recreating conditions in the primordial fireball only a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang. And on 10 September 2008 the first beam in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN was successfully steered around the full 27 kilometres (17 miles) of the world's most powerful particle accelerator. This historic event marks a key moment in the transition from over two decades of preparation to a new era of scientific discovery.
