Non-scientist here - do existing colliders like the LHC become useless, or can they still be used to make new scientific discoveries?

- ddavis 6y agoThe physical accelerator will become useless (the magnets). The tunnel where the LHC exists right now is the old home of the LEP collider.
- maxnoe 6y agoNo, as you can see in the drawings, the old accelarators are always integrated as pre-accelerators into the chain, feeding the next larger ones. LHC will feed this new accelerator, this is why they intersect at two points.
