China to construct a next-generation 100-km collider that will dwarf CERN’s Large Hadron Collider to study ‘God particle’, the Higgs boson
Apr 19, 2019
The Higgs boson, aka “God particle”, is the ultimate frontier in particle physics. The significance of the elementary particle and its properties is that it is able to be examined using existing knowledge and experimental technology as a means to confirm and study the entire Higgs field theory.
In layman’s terms, different subatomic particles are responsible for giving matter different properties. One of the most mysterious and important properties is mass: some particles like protons and neutrons have mass, while others, like photons, do not. The Higgs boson is believed to be the particle which gives mass to matter, according to scientists.
The elusive “God particles” were first spotted in 2012 in subatomic crashes that took place inside the Large Hadron Collider, a multibillion-dollar particle accelerator in a 27-km circular tunnel 175 meters beneath the French-Swiss border near Geneva. The collider, dubbed the largest machine in the world and operated by the Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN), verified the existence of the elusive Higgs boson, a landmark event in particle physics.
But now China aims to construct a next-generation 100-km proton-proton circular electron-positron collider that will dwarf the European facility. The giant underground collider is designed to fire protons at near light speed and smash them together to mass produce the transient Higgs bosons for intensive study.
A funding proposal was submitted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences to the central government in November, after the academy’s Beijing Institute of High Energy Physics finalized a detailed concept design. The first component is expected to be installed from 2022.
Several sites have been suggested, including Qinhuangdao in Hebei province near Beijing, Yan’an in Shaanxi province and Shanwei in the southern Guangdong province, according to Chinese papers.
China is pouring in money and talent in a race against similar projects initiated by Japan and Europe to build a “God particle” factory, undaunted by prohibitive costs.
Japan has reportedly started designing its new collider after hearing about China’s plan, though the controversy is that the proposed site is in a seismically active zone, while the CERN has been working on plans for two new colliders, though it will have to break all the red tape to secure approval from all European Union member states to get the funding it needs.
Hopefully this race to disclose the invisible God particle doens’t mean the End of our World!

中國的強子對撞機2016完成最終設計！能力遠超歐洲
2016-08-03
歐洲的強子對撞機為27公里長，科學家在碰撞中僅發現數百希格斯玻色子，這不足以了解它們的結構和特性，但中國計劃建成的強子對撞機長度為50-100公里，預計碰撞中會產生數以百萬的希格斯玻色子，這將幫助幫助科學家更好的研究這種「上帝粒子」

日本啟動線性對撞機落空！科學家：實施限制，實驗也沒發現新的粒子
最新的實驗就是日本科學家提出的直線加速器，是為了通過對撞機碰撞質子將電子進行徹底的分離，由於初步的模擬實驗沒有發現新的粒子，迫使物理學家不得不減緩對下一個加速器項目計劃的實施，在日本被稱為國際線性對撞機（ILC），需要價值數十億美元的設施才能支撐起，在7號的時候，國際未來加速器委員會（ICFA）批准了建設機器的計劃。https://kknews.cc/science/4v6yg8v.html
