The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was restarted. The LHC has begun to re-operate today from 2013, where the protons began spinning in the 27 tunnel for the first time.
Μετά τη διακοπή λειτουργίας του για δύο χρόνια, ο μεγαλύτερος επιταχυντής σωματιδίων στον κόσμο είναι και πάλι σε λειτουργία. Η διαδικασία έγινε με την ενεργοποίηση των δύο δεσμών πρωτονίων που κινούνται αντίθετα μέσα στο τούνελ των 27 χιλιομέτρων. Αρχικά, η energy is low, but CERN scientists hope that within the next few months the particle accelerator will reach its full potential.
The real collisions won't start for at least a month, but when they do they will produce twice the energy that the LHC reached in the first implementation of, according to the BBC.
Rolf Heuer, director general of CERN, which operates the LHC, told engineers and scientists at the lab: "Congratulations. Thank you all very much... Now the hard work begins with the start of the work. "
The director of his accelerator CERN Frédérick Bordry said: “After two years of effort, the LHC is in excellent shape. But the most important step has not yet come. We will see the energy of the bonds increase to new record levels. "
CERN projects live information for the progress of the process, which so far does not seem to present problems.
Protons as mentioned above are injected at a relatively low energy. But over the coming months, scientists hope to gradually increase the energy to 13 trillionmillions electoniobot, which is twice as much as it was during duration of the first operation of the LHC.
From 8: 30 GMT today, scientists have begun to pass the proton beam through every part of the huge tunnel.
The Great Andron Accelerator is very close to identifying the Higgs particle, which so far has not been seen. The confirmation of the existence of the Higgs particle will explain how elementary particles gain mass in the Higgs model.
