LHC is being used to trace the origins of the Universe. In 2012, LHC also discovered the sub-atomic particle known as the Higgs-Boson.

According to details, a high-rate Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) installed in the LHC was designed at the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and the National Centre for Physics (NCP) Islamabad while it was manufactured at the Heavy Mechanical Complex (HMC) Taxila.

There are 300 RPCs installed in the LHC, of which 245 were designed and built in Pakistan.
