Guler told A.A correspondent that he was proud that Turkish scientists had active roles in experiments conducted in CERN and they aimed to increase the number of Turkish scientists to 500 in CERN.
LHC is a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100 m underground. It is a particle accelerator used by physicists to study the smallest known particles ? the fundamental building blocks of all things.
