buckling and then bulging and, in turn,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], blocking particle beams. Which is not good,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when the whole purpose of your existence is to facilitate the movement of particle beams.So scientists at CERN, as they overhaul the collider to prepare it for future research,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], need to test the LHC to make sure it offers a pothole-free path for the particles that travel it. And they have developed a delightfully low-tech tool for doing that: a ping-pong ball. Technically a "radiofrequency ball,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," because Science ... but the lightweight sphere is a pretty faithful rendition of the one you might know from college or camp or world-class sporting events.CERN's modified version is slightly smaller than a regulation ping-pong ball: 34 mm in diameter, which is also just slightly smaller than the LHC beam pipes' diameter of 36 mm. The thing is carefully sterilized. And it carries a transmitter within its hollow insides. Researchers feed it into a section of the LHC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the ball travels along the vacuum
