 The 12 founding member states of CERN in 1954[1] (map

borders from 1954–1990)
 The convention establishing CERN was ratified on
29 September 1954 by 12 countries in Western Europe.[1] The
acronym CERN originally represented the French words
for Conseil Européen pour la Recherche
Nucléaire (European Council for Nuclear Research), which
was a provisional council for building the laboratory,
established by 12 European governments in 1952.

Founding members: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany,

Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden,
Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Yugoslavia

The (Large Hadron Collider) LHC tunnel
is located 100 metres underground, in
the region between the Geneva
International Airport and the nearby Jura
mountains. The majority of its length is
on the French side of the border. It uses
the 27 km circumference circular tunnel
previously occupied by the Large
Electron–Positron Collider (LEP), which
was shut down in November 2000.
CERN's existing PS/SPS accelerator
complexes are used to pre-accelerate
protons and lead ions which are then
injected into the LHC.
