LUXIM’s LEP® brand of Light Emitting Plasma™ is a new class of solid state high intensity light sources brining clean lighting solutions in general and specialty lighting. With energy efficiency, long useful lifetime, full spectrum color, and dimming, LEP lighting applications work better compared to conventional approaches such as HID or even newer sources such as LED in many applications. This technology brief describes the general construction of LEP lighting systems and the basic technology building blocks behind their function.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator (37). Its construction lasted from 1998 to 2008, in the tunnel previously housing the Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP), 27 kilometers in circumference, at depths between 100 and 175 meters. It contains six detectors, each designed for specific types of exploration. It has already achieved one of its most important goals with the discovery of the Higgs Boson, the long sought cornerstone of the Standard Model of elementary particles (Figure 8).
