LHCb Experiment

LHCb experiment investigates the slight differences between matter and antimatter

For that, LHCb studies a type of particle called the “beauty quark”, or “b quark”.

The 5600-tonne LHCb detector is 21 metres long, 10 metres high and 13 metres wide, and sits 100 metres below ground.

About 1565 scientists, engineers and technicians from 20 countries make up the LHCb collaboration (March 2022). The LHCb Team in Clermont-Ferrand is part of them.
