In addition to the LHC, CERN operates several other accelerators, including the [[Super Proton Synchrotron|SPS]] and the [[Proton Synchrotron|PS]]. These facilities serve as pre-accelerators that increase the energy of particles before they are injected into the LHC. CERN also hosts a variety of detectors, such as [[ATLAS experiment|ATLAS]] and [[Compact Muon Solenoid|CMS]], which are used to observe and analyze the results of particle collisions. | In addition to the LHC, CERN operates several other accelerators, including the [[Super Proton Synchrotron|SPS]] and the [[Proton Synchrotron|PS]].
