The results from the highest-energy particle experiments carried out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in December have begun to yield their secrets. Scientists from the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid detector has now totted up all of the resulting particle interactions. They wrote in the Journal of High Energy Physics that the run created more particles than theory predicted. Read more
Europe's Large Hadron Collider was knocked offline today due to a faulty electrical cable, just a couple of days after the accelerator broke the world record for proton-smashing power. Electrical power was fully restored within hours, with no major effect on LHC operations, according to the CERN particle-physics centre. Read more
LHC becomes most powerful accelerator of all time 20:28 GMT, 29 November 2009. That's when the Large Hadron Collider became the most powerful particle accelerator on Earth. Inside the 27-kilometre circular tunnel at the CERN particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, a beam of protons was accelerated to energies of 1.05 teraelectronvolts (TeV), smashing the previous record of 0.98 TeV held by the Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab, near Chicago.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment on the French-Swiss border has set a new world record for energy. The LHC pushed the energy of its particle beams beyond one trillion electron volts, making it the world's highest energy particle accelerator. The previous record was held by the Tevatron particle accelerator in Chicago.
CERN announced early Monday that the Large Hadron Collider has become the worlds highest-energy particle accelerator. The LHC pushed protons to 1.18 TeV (trillion electron volts), surpassing the previous record of 0.98 TeV held by Fermilabs Tevatron.
LHC smashes protons together for first time The particle accelerator is now officially a collider it will attempt to break the world record for collision energies before the end of the year
Engineers working on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have smashed together proton beams for the first time. Officials said it was an important step towards commissioning the LHC for carrying out science. The low-energy collisions came as researchers circulated two beams simultaneously in the LHC's 27km-long tunnel.
