The sum of human knowledge could be massively increased on Wednesday - but Professor Stephen Hawking could find himself $100 poorer.
As Cern prepares to switch on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) below the French-Swiss border, the physicist has a bet that it will not find the Higgs boson - the most highly sought-after particle in physics.

At 9 a.m. Switzerland time on Sept. 10, scientists in Geneva will flip a switch (or possibly type a command) -- and if all goes as planned, the first beam will circulate through the giant new particle accelerator known as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
To mark the occasion -- and to explain what it all means -- the physics department will hold a public forum at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 9 in Rockefeller Hall's Schwartz Auditorium.

The field of particle physics is poised to enter unknown territory with the startup of a massive new accelerator--the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)--in Europe this summer. On September 10, LHC scientists will attempt to send the first beam of protons speeding around the accelerator.

September 2008 will see particle physicists setting protons on a collision course through the Large Hadron Collider with more energy than ever before. Their intention is to track down the Higgs boson and solve the problem of why the universe contains almost no antimatter. Physicists from theMax Planck Institute for Physics and theMax Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics are playing a crucial role in the experiments and their preparation.

When the Large Hadron Collider comes into operation in September 2008, it will begin to produce an expected 15 million gigabytes of data every year, enough information to create a 21-kilometre-high stack of CDs annually.
On 3rd October we announce the readiness of the LHC Computing Grid (LCG), an e-infrastructure conceived and designed to support this data challenge, and with it the research of more than 9000 physicists around the globe.
