List of Large Hadron Collider experiments

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This is a list of experiments at

beyond the Standard Model such as supersymmetry, extra dimensions
, and others.

The list is first compiled from the

SPIRES database, then missing information is retrieved from the online version CERN's Grey Book
. The most specific information of the two is kept, e.g. if the SPIRES database lists December 2008, while the Grey Book lists 22 December 2008, the Grey Book entry is shown. When there is a conflict between the SPIRES database and the Grey Book, the SPIRES database information is listed, unless otherwise noted.

MilliQan, MATHUSLA, FASER, LHCf, MOEDAL and TOTEM are much smaller than the other four experiments. Each is close to one of the larger experiments and uses the same collision point.

Notes

1.^ Only a prototype has been approved and constructed so far, much smaller than the full proposed detector
