The Large Hadron Collider works again. The first particle collisions … – News 24

5 April restart the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN near Geneva. After a two-year break and modernization particle accelerator is expected to reach up to twice the energy of the collision.

After two years of break Big Collider hadrons (Large Hadron Collider – LHC) was restarted. Initially, it had to happen in March, but because of the failure of one of the magnets start was postponed.

Experiments using the LHC are scheduled to begin in June – gives the BBC. Energy collisions of elementary particles after the renovation, which lasted from 2013. Is projected at 13 TeV, which teraelektronowoltów. That’s twice as much as before the upgrade.

Large Hadron Collider is very simply, a 27-kilometer underground tunnel located. Researchers lead to mutual collisions moving from opposite directions proton beams, which can reach speeds close to the speed of light. The LHC is a kind of giant microscope that allows you to observe the behavior of elementary particles. Accelerator launched 10 September 2008.

Three scientists – Farag Ali, Mir Mohammed Faizal M. Khalil and see the LHC potential clue to the study of the theory of parallel universes. According to these physicists using the accelerator can be detected by a miniature black holes in the so-called. rainbow gravity – phys.org service reports. The energy required to produce a black hole in the four-dimensional model is 10 to 19 GeV, while the Large Hadron Collider reached up to 14 TeV. According to the researchers, if there are extra dimensions LHC would be able to “generate” a miniature black hole.
