CERN
The European Organisation for Nuclear Research: a particle physics laboratory on the French-Swiss border, west of Geneva, Switzerland. CERN (Conseil Européan pour la Recherche Nucléaire) was founded in 1954 and is an intergovermental organization supported by 20 member states. It is the site of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is currently under construction. Over the last two decades, the experiments at CERN have provided particle physicists crucial information about the electroweak theory.
