Scope and content
If all molecules in this bottle could be used, this hydrogen bottle contains enough protons to feed the Large Hadron Collider for 200’000 years of continuous operation! But since there are losses inside the source, in and between the accelerators, such a bottle only lasted for 4 to 6 months of operations and needed then to be replaced.
