The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest accelerator in the world, began working again after two years of construction maintenance, tuning and several months of preparation for the . New Power
This was announced in a statement the European Center for Particle Physics (CERN), which specified that at 3:41 am Colombia, a beam of protons turned the LHC in one direction, and less than two hours later, another beam did the same in reverse.
On March 24, CERN announced that the start full operation its large proton accelerator suffer a delay due to an intermittent short.
Those responsible sure that the type of problem encountered was known and that its impact would be minimal in the operation of the LHC, which was stopped two years, during which he was subjected to a thorough technical review.
The beams circulated energy injection and in the coming days, after verifying that everything works properly, the energy will increase gradually.
With the new power Particle Collider scientists hope to know more precisely the Higgs boson mass, and the possible existence of Higgs bosons other and other unknown particles.
It has the hope that in this new phase helps to understand what is dark matter, what it is made, since this form of matter is the dominant in the universe and the particles do not interact with those we know.
Also could help at this stage to test the theory of supersymmetry, which says that for every particle there is a supersymmetric partner, a theory that goes beyond the Standard Model of physics.
