Answer to Question 1

Forty million times per second, particles collide within the LHC, each collision generating particles that often decay in complex ways into even more particles. Precise electronic circuits all around LHC record the passage of each particle via a detector as a series of electronic signals, and send the data to the CERN Data Centre (DC) for recording and digital reconstruction. The digitized summary of data is recorded as a collision event. 15 petabytes or so of digitized summary data produced annually and this is processed by physicists to determine if the collisions have thrown up any interesting physics.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
