Cost section vague?
There have been statements on the talk:higgs boson article that question spending taxpayer money on the LHC. I thought they brought up a good point. Does one country shoulder more financial burden than another? Is there any kind of "fiscal year breakdown" of the operating costs that could be added to the article? Still very new at this, so any advice is welcome. Mophedd (talk) 21:34, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
Who funds the project?
The article should mention which countries/organisations etc. pay for the project and in what proportions83.7.157.251 (talk) 13:59, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Hydrogen vs. Hydrogen ions
"the beam pipes contain 1.0×10−9 gram of hydrogen"
Wouldn't that be hydrogen ions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.196.68 (talk) 15:56, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Copper Content
How many tons of copper were used in the project? Copper prices have skyrocketed since this project began and I suspect that the LHC is responsible. It also begs the question that after the LHC ceases operation who gets all the copper? Will Switzerland then own a significant portion of the world's copper resources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank2040 (talk • contribs) 11:56, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- The LHC only use a tiny fraction of the worlds copper resources, also I would assume all parts of the LHC is owned by CERN and not the Swiss Confederation. So, no, they will not.85.230.137.182 (talk) 16:31, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
