Simulated computer display of a particle collision in the large hadron collider (LHC) at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva, Switzerland. This is the type of collision event expected in the ALICE (a large ion collider experiment) detector. ALICE will detect and record the particles produced when lead ions are accelerated to very high energies and collided within the LHC. It is expected to produce quark-gluon plasma, a primordial state of matter thought to have been present in the Universe microseconds after the Big Bang. A pilot run of the LHC is scheduled for summer 2007.
