http://public.web.cern.ch/public/ The Large Hadron Rap Lyrics Twenty-seven kilometers of tunnel under ground Designed with mind to send protons around A circle that crosses through Switzerland and France Sixty nations contribute to scientific advance Two beams of protons swing round, through the ring they ride Til in the hearts of the detectors, theyre made to collide And all that energy packed in such a tiny bit of room Becomes mass, particles created from the vacuum And then LHCb sees where the antimatters gone ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions CMS and ATLAS are two of a kind Theyre looking for whatever new particles they can find. The LHC accelerates the protons and the lead And the things that it discovers will rock you in the head. We see asteroids and planets, stars galore We know a black hole resides at each galaxys core But even all that matter cannot explain What holds all these stars together something else remains This dark matter interacts only through gravity And how do you catch a particle theres no way to see Take it back to the conservation of energy And the particles appear, clear as can be You see particles flying, in jets they spray But you notice there aint nothin, goin the other way You say, My law has just been violated it dont make sense! Theres gotta be another particle to make this balance. And it might be dark matter, and for first Time we catch a glimpse of what must fill most of the known Verse. Because LHCb sees where the antimatters gone ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions CMS and ATLAS are two of a kind Theyre looking for whatever new particles they can find. Antimatter is sort of like matters evil twin Because except for charge and handedness of spin Theyre the same for a particle and its anti-self But you cant store an antiparticle on any shelf Cuz when it meets its normal twin, they both annihilate Matter turns to energy and then it dissipates When matter is created from energy Which is exactly what theyll do in the LHC You get matter and antimatter in equal parts And they try to take that back to when the universe starts The Big Bang back when the matter all exploded But the amount of antimatter was somehow eroded Because when we look around we see that matter abounds But antimatters nowhere to be found. Thats why LHCb sees where the antimatters gone ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions CMS and ATLAS are two of a kind Theyre looking for whatever new particles they can find. The LHC accelerates the protons and the lead And the things that it discovers will rock you in the head. The Higgs Boson thats the one that everybody talks about. And its the one sure thing that this machine will sort out If the Higgs exists, they ought to see it right away And if it doesnt, then the scientists will finally say There is no Higgs! We need new physics to account for why Things have mass. Something in our Standard Model went awry. But the Higgs I still havent said just what it does They suppose that particles have mass because There is this Higgs field that extends through all space And some particles slow down while other particles race Straight through like the photon it has no mass But something heavy like the top quark, its draggin its *** And the Higgs is a boson that carries a force And makes particles take orders from the field that is its source. Theyll detect it. LHCb sees where the antimatters gone ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions CMS and ATLAS are two of a kind Theyre looking for whatever new particles they can find. Now some of you may think that gravity is strong Cuz when you fall off your bicycle it dont take long Until you hit the earth, and you say, Dang, that hurt! But if you think that force is powerful, youre wrong. You see, gravity its weaker than Weak And the reason why is something many scientists seek They think about dimensions we just live in three But maybe there are some others that are too small to see Its into these dimensions that gravi...
