Reuters Scientists in research centre of Europe CERN postponed its imminent restart operation of the Large Hadron Collider, due to a short circuit in the wiring of one of the machine's vital magnets.
"Current indications suggest a delay of a few days to several weeks," said a statement from the world's largest particulate matter research center. physicss in the world, published on Tuesday.
Scientists were expected to start the proton pumping bundles in the opposite direction throughout the machine, that is, the 27 km of large Hadron Collider (LHC) tubes that had been shut down for the last two years for repair.
The collision of particles inside the LHC is designed to mimic the conditions that existed immediately after the Big Bang, at the beginning of the universe. In an important discovery, in 2012, CERN scientists announced the discovery of a new subatomic particle, a basic building block of the universe, which appears to be the boson named half a century ago by theoretical physicist Peter Higgs.
