Twenty-seven months the largest and most famous accelerator The charged particles of the planet were repaired and improved. IN Wednesday, June 3, it became known that the Large Hadron the collider will finally be launched with renewed vigor.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research said that the collision energy of protons with ions should be a record and reach the mark of thirteen tera-electronvolts. According to scientists, this is almost twice as many indicators obtained during the first three-year phase of operation of the collider.
The second stage should last as long – from 2015 to 2018. Scientists have set themselves a very ambitious task to reveal secrets of mysterious antimatter, quark-gluon plasma and dark matter. It is worth recalling that the most important achievement of the past stages of the Large Hadron Collider are considered the discovery of an elementary particle called the Higgs Boson. This discovery brought the British Peter Higgs and the Belgian scientist Francois Engler Nobel Prize in Physics.
The Large Hadron Collider is located a hundred meters below Switzerland and France. Particle Accelerator Presented twenty-seven ring tunnel kilometers. It is noteworthy that, regarding the collider security, heated debate is still underway. Opponents of Accelerator Use sure that there is always a risk when using such a device the occurrence of small black holes and their capture of the surrounding matter, which in theory can destroy our entire planet.
