1) Message boards : LHC@home Science : Gravity ? (Message 19385) Posted 12 Apr 2008 by Kabal Post: If I remember correctly gravity is an extremely weak force in relationship to other forces (like the electromagnetic or strong nuclear forces). One of the goals for the LHC is to try and find the Higgs particle, that is postulated to be the cause of gravity! I'm remember reading that gravity has been compensated for in the design as part of the device is under a mountain and part isn't. Ok I'll just start by saying I am not a Scientist just an interested observer. My question is would the experiments due to be performed on the LHC have different results dependent on force of Gravity. If I offend anyone with my ignorance I apologize in advance Gravity has another indirect influence on the LHC: tides can change the length of the LHC circumference by 1 mm, and this produces changes in beam energy. Thus scientists must take this into account in their measurement.

The standard device for trapping charged particles is the Penning Trap. I don't know how they trap neutral particles like antihydrogen atoms.
