List of Large Hadron Collider experiments

This is a list of experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is the most energetic particle collider in the world, and is used to test the accuracy of the Standard Model, and to look for physics beyond the Standard Model such as supersymmetry, extra dimensions, and others.

The list is first compiled from the SPIRES database, then missing information is retrieved from the online version CERN's Grey Book. The most specific information of the two is kept, e.g. if the SPIRES database lists December 2008, while the Grey Book lists 22 December 2008, the Grey Book entry is shown. When there is a conflict between the SPIRES database and the Grey Book, the SPIRES database information is listed, unless otherwise noted.

LHCb	IP8	Guy Wilkinson	LHC beauty experiment: measuring certain B-hadron qualities such as asymmetries and CP violations,	??	17 Sep 1998	30 March 2010	N/A	SPIRES Grey Book	Website

MOEDAL	IP8	James L. Pinfold	Monopole and exotic particle detector at the LHC	July 2009^[1]	2 December 2009^[2]	January 2011^[3]	N/A	SPIRES	Website
TOTEM	IP5	Karsten Eggert	Total cross section, elastic scattering and diffraction dissociation at the LHC	1999	18 May 1999	2010	N/A	SPIRES Grey Book	Website

LHCf, MOEDAL and TOTEM are much smaller than the other four experiments, they are close to one of those larger experiments and use the same collision point.
