LHC broke the world record for energy generation

According to the November 30 announcement of the European Nuclear Research Organization (CERN), the organization's large particle accelerator (LHC) has achieved 1.18 trillion electron volts (TeV) energy generation, breaking the world record of 0.98 TeV due to its rival Tevatron particle accelerator at the US Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory established in 2001.

CERN said one of the two beams of protons traveling in a large particle accelerator reached an energy level of 1.18 TeV on November 29. After that, both proton beams reached this record level of energy emission.

Last week, CERN adjusted the proton beams to move at low energy levels to probe the safety of large particle accelerators.

CERN intends to end the next December to carry out collisions between protons with energies at 1.2 TeV, then raise to 3.5 TeV per beam in the first half of 2010.

CERN expects the energy of each proton beam in a large particle accelerator to reach nearly 5 TeV by the end of next year.

When large particle accelerators reach 7 TeV, scientists will begin important tests to elucidate the mysteries in the universe such as "black matter" and "black energy".

European scientists also hope that large particle accelerators will help them recreate the big bang (Big Bang) thought to form the universe about 13 billion years ago.

Large particle accelerator is located in a 27km long tunnel, at a depth of 100m below ground at the border area between France and Switzerland.

This machine was first started on September 10, 2008. However, only after 9 days, the large particle accelerator had an electrical problem and it took 14 months for experts to fix it at a cost of $ 40 million.

On November 20, scientists successfully launched a large particle accelerator and performed the first experiment.
