CERN Large Hadron Collider: Second Run Starts March 23, LHC Boasts Upgrades
LHC is the world's most powerful particle accelerator and it is ready to continue the journey of "a new era of physics," Rolf Heuer, Director General of CERN, said at a press briefing on Thursday. "I want to see the first light in the dark universe. If that happens, then nature is kind to me."
The last two years have been spent upgrading and repairing the LHC. The particle collider now sports "new magnets, superior cryogenics, higher voltage and higher energy beams that will allow the machine to run at nearly double the collision energy of the first run," according to a press release from the Institute of Physics in London, England.
The circulating beams of protons in the LHC will start March 23. The collider is forecast to be running at 13 TeV by late May or early June. "One hope is that these higher energies will allow physicists to extend the search for new particles and to check previously untestable theories such as the elegant theory of supersymmetry which could extend the standard model of particle physics," according to the press release
