Nedvizhimost29-09-2008 Why is Moscow's way more expensive than the LHC line kilometers of the Large Hadron Collider, stuffed with high-precision electronics and two times cheaper than the same length of road in Moscow. Journalists now and then throw quite subtle hints at the excessive corruption of the road sector. Reference: The Large Hadron Collider (English Large Hadron Collider, LHC; abbr. LHC) - an accelerator of charged particles in colliding beams, designed to accelerate protons and heavy ions (lead ions) and study the products of their collisions. Collider built at the research center of the European Council for Nuclear Research (Fr. Conseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nucleaire, CERN), on the border of Switzerland and France near Geneva. As of 2008 the LHC is the largest research facility in the world. Large tank named because of its size: the length of the main accelerator ring is 26.7 kilometers; Hadron - due to the fact that it accelerates hadrons, ie particles composed of quarks; Collider (English collide - face) - because the fact that the particle beams are accelerated in opposite directions and collide in special places.
