Large Hadron Rap

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, they’re made to collide And all that energy packed in such a tiny bit of room Becomes mass, particles created from the vacuum And then… L-H-C-B sees where the antimatter’s gone ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions C-M-S and ATLAS are two of a kind They’re looking for whatever new particles they can find. The L-H-C accelerates the protons and the lead And the things that it discovers will rock you in the head.
