Large Hadron Collider could soon find dark matter, claims scientist

Large Hadron Collider could soon find dark matter, claims scientist | Daily Mail Online: "In 2012, the science world broke into celebration with the announcement that the Higgs boson - sometimes controversially referred to as the ‘God particle’ - had been found.

Dr Monica Dunford worked at Cern  in Switzerland up until 2013 and was directly involved in the detection of the Higgs boson in 2012. Cern's collider (part shown) is buried in a tunnel 27km (17 miles) long straddling the Franco-Swiss border at the foot of the Jura mountains

The discovery of the particle, which is believed to give mass to matter, was a crowning achievement and justification for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Cern.

But one scientist has told MailOnline we can expect even greater discoveries from the collider in the coming years - and one in particular could be the most important in history."
