"The Matter of Success - Multicultural R&D Teams at the LHC" is dedicated to the researchers, engineers and technicians working on the development and operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
On this website, visitors can learn about the particle accelerator that was recently completed and get the latest news about the LHC and its related experiments, such as ALICE, ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus), CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid), LHCb (LHC-beauty), TOTEM (Total Cross Section Elastic Scattering and Diffraction Dissociation) or LHCf (LHC-forward).
For those not so familiar with particle physics, a basic introduction about the ideas, concepts and theories that LHC scientists are trying to discover, develop or verify is provided. Among them are the Grand Unified Theory (GUT), the Theory of Everything (TOE), and the Higgs Boson (also known as the God Particle).
Particular emphasis shall be laid on the multicultural teams at CERN, which are exemplars of successful co-operation.
An in-depth case study (after which this website is named) about one of the LHC experiment and its team is available for download. To readers interested in knowing more about Multicultural R&D Teams and how to manage these in order to achieve similar successes as in the Large Hadron Collider, the author recommends his latest work "The Six C's for Success of Multicultural R&D Teams", available on all major online bookstores.
The latest news about the LHC are available here. You can also follow me on Research Gate:
