Particle collider to get energy boost
Geneva, Switzerland (UPI) Feb 14, 2012
European particle physicists say the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland will be run at higher energies in 2012 than in previous years The higher energy 4 Tev level, 0.5 higher than levels used in 2010 and 2011, will allow the LHC to deliver the maximum possible amount of data this year before it goes into a long shutdown to prepare for even higher-energy running, a release from CERN headquarters in Geneva said Tuesday. "When we started operating the LHC for physics in 2010, we chose th ... read more
