Scientists soon launch the highly anticipated sequel to the so-called Big Bang Machine, already found the elusive Higgs boson. And this time promise almost twice as much energy and violent clashes particles.
After an idle two years, the Large Hadron Collider is about to start its second trading period of three years. Scientists at CERN, CERN, say that if nature cooperates, the strongest shocks allow them to look at parts of the dark universe than ever before.
The rays begin to run the huge machine later this month, and the first high-energy collisions are probably waiting for May, director of the accelerator, Frederick Bordry said Thursday at a conference in Geneva. The accelerator launched a beam test last weekend, he said.
Scientists hope to see all kinds of new physics, including the first look at the history of dark matter, one of the main approaches experiment.
“I want to see first light in the dark universe,” the CERN Director General Rolf Heuer said. “If I see that, then nature is good to me”
Dark matter-and its cousin, dark energy make up most of the universe.; however, scientists have been unable to see them so far, so researchers are looking for them in several parts. high energy collisions in a space experiment from the International Space Station, and a deep underground mine
“What we know dark matter is there and not much else,” MIT professor, Michael Williams, said at a scientific conference in February.
The CERN spent about $ 150 million to improve the machinery during downtime, opening the huge construction every 20 meters (66 feet), reviewing and improving magnets connections.
“It’s almost a new machine,” said Heuer. “It has the power to melt 500 kilos (1100 pounds) of copper Each ray Two rays together, a ton of copper..”
