Reboot the giant particle accelerator

Scientists working at the European Nuclear Research Organization (CERN) have restarted the giant LHC particle accelerator, located between the French-Swiss border, to prepare for an important experiment.

After this start, the LHC will perform atomic collisions at an unprecedented high energy level.

In preparation for these experiments, scientists at CERN gave the LHC a 'break' from December 2009. James Gillies, CERN spokesman, said the reboot will take place February 22-24 and the experiment will take place in the next 2-4 weeks.

Next time, the LHC will work 7 TeV energy level and maintain it continuously for 18-24 months. This is the level of energy that is supposed to re-create the conditions of the Big Bang.

Before December 2009, the LHC machine reached a record when creating atomic collisions at energies of up to 2.36 TeV. Scientists say that, in design, the LHC can work at 14 TeV.

The LHC machine has a construction cost of $ 5.8 billion, which is the most expensive and largest machine that humans ever created.
