MOSCOW, June 3 – RIA Novosti. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) on Wednesday announced the successful launch of the first experiments on the collisions of beams of charged particles in the reconstructed and fortified the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), said in a press release CERN.
Scientists CERN on Wednesday conducted the first experiments on the collision of charged particle beams for the first time after a 27-month break in the collider. According to CERN collider is now three years will work around the clock. It is reported that energy proton collisions at 13 TeV start reached that exceeds the energy of the collision on the first run almost twice.
“This is a tremendous achievement and a significant moment for all who had involved in work during the long break in the LHC, during the test run, as well as its commissioning. All these people have sacrificed much of their time to make this possible, “- said CERN Director for Accelerators and Technology Frederick Bordri (Frederick Bordry).
The LHC has suspended its work in 2013 for scheduled maintenance after three years of intensive work. In the next two years, hundreds of engineers, scientists and technicians updated equipment complex machine, reinforced particle accelerator LHC and prepared to work with the new facilities. Renovated Collider could spend a collision with a new power, which exceeds the previous maximum of 8 TeV achieved in 2012. In this planned capacity is 14 TeV LHC.
The experiments at the LHC are aimed at disclosing the secrets of how the universe was created. Before renovation LHC was used to prove the existence of Higgs boson, also known as the “God particle”.
Large Hadron Collider built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) with the participation of physicists from many countries, including Russia. It is located on the border of Switzerland and France. In its 27-kilometer ring will collide beams of protons accelerated to nearly the speed of light.
