The July 19th issue of Science News had a big cover story on the LHC, including information about the detectors and specific experiments.

For most of their journey around the ring, the beams travel in separate vacuum pipes, but at four points they collide. These are the hearts of the main experiments, known by their acronyms: ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus), CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) and LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty).
