Control room, LHC startup, Cern, November 2009
Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The Large Hadron Collider at Geneva’s Cern (European Centre for Nuclear Research) has beat previously recorded energy levels by accelerating beams of particles to 1.18 TeV early 30 November. The previous record was 0.98 TeV.
Scientists at Cern are particularly happy about the results because they come only 10 days after the LHC was started up again after explosions one year ago caused serious and expensive damage.
