CERN estimates the HL-LHC will generate benefits close to double its cost
CERN has estimated that the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), expected by the end of this decade, will generate benefits for society close to double its cost, even without counting the value of possible scientific discoveries. After 50,000 simulations, 94% showed a positive balance. The main source of socioeconomic benefits would be the training of students and young researchers involved in the accelerator and its experiments.
