Irelandboinc.com science project of the month - LHC@home
Team Ireland's project of the month for March 2008 is LHC@home. This is the worlds largest particle accelerator and it is based in the CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research, Geneva, Switzerland. It is a 27KM ring under the ground where they are planning to accelerate particles up to the speed of light and smash them together inside the Atlas Detector to see what happens. You can join the team on this project using the following details;
