Taking a closer look at LHC
(Taken from LHC The Guide 2009)
The cost for the machine alone is about 3000 million Euro.
The total project cost breaks down roughly as follows:
The experimental collaborations are individual entities, funded independently from CERN. CERN is a member of each experiment, and contributes to the material budget of CMS and LHCb at the 20% level, 16% for ALICE and 14% for ATLAS.
CERN also participates in the other, much smaller, LHC experiments (collaborations). For example, in the TOTEM experiment, which costs about €4.1 million, CERN provides 30% of the budget.
