CERNŐs Detectors
To observe the collisions, collaborators from around the world are building four huge experiments: ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, LHCb
Detector components are constructed all over the world
Funding comes mostly from the participating institutes, less than 20% from CERN

The LHC Computing Challenge
