On Tuesday 9:00 CET and after two years of repairs, proton collisions at CERN's Large Underground Collider (LHC) have restarted.
The first clashes as reported by CERN, were tested with low energy (450 gigaelectronvolts or GeV per radius), ie a total of 900 GeV.
Scientists and engineers are hoping to find out if the Higgs particle is unique or part of a larger particle family if there are supersymmetric particles or some other particle related to dark matter.
Ενώ ο επιταχυντής συνεχίζει αυτή τη στιγμή με τις δισεκατομμύρια συγκρούσεις, οι ανιχνευτές LHC, ALICE, ATLAS, CMS και LHCb που υπάρχουν σε όλο του το μήκος του (27 χιλιομέτρα) είναι σε ετοιμότητα για την συλλογή και την ανάλυση των data produced.
So with submode of the LHC n team of scientists is checking everything trying to confirm that the system, and the algorithms will work fully and without mistakes, errors or failures when the collisions start at 13 TeV.
Scientists say there will be very high particle collisions in June and if everything goes well, the accelerator is expected to gradually reach the maximum energy it can use, that is, around 6,5 TeV per radius or a total of 13 TeV.
