The proposal is backed by researchers at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing, who have dubbed the project the \u201cHiggs factory,\u201d an allusion to the Higgs boson. The existence of that subatomic elementary particle was demonstrated in 2012 by experiments conducted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world\u2019s largest particle accelerator, operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland. Using an accelerator bigger than the one at CERN, the Chinese hope to study the Higgs Boson in much greater detail. They estimate that about $3 billion will be spent on building the collider, but physicists interviewed by the journal <i>Nature <\/i>have called that figure conservative and said the true cost will probably be much higher. China also hopes this will give it an opportunity to develop the next-generation collider\u2014a supercollider called a proton-proton\u2014in that same tunnel. If the project proves feasible, the achievement will represent significant progress for China. At present, that country\u2019s biggest collider measures only 240 meters in circumference.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"China plans to build an underground particle accelerator by 2028","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[162],"tags":[235],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-156326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strategies","tag-physics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156326\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156326"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=156326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
