Modernized, throttle largest and most powerful particle … – Telam

For the first time two years ago at the LHC will return circulating beams of elementary particles, CERN said from Geneva, Switzerland, according to the German news agency DPA.

Three years after the CERN were shown the existence of “Higgs boson”, now physicists want to look into other mysteries of the universe.

In the coming years expect to find first concrete evidence of the existence of the so-called dark matter, and information on their elemental composition.

A particle accelerator is a device that uses electromagnetic fields to accelerate charged particles to high speeds, and thus colisionarlas with other particles.

The LHC the accelerator and collider’s largest and most energetic particles in the world that uses the tunnel 27 kilometers in circumference created for the Great Electron Positron Collider (LEP in English) whose construction involved more than 2000 physicists from 34 countries and hundreds universities and laboratories.

This collider has the distinction of being able to collide two beams of protons accelerated in opposite 99.99 percent of the speed of light senses, producing high energies (although subatomic) scales that allow simulate some events that occurred immediately after the Big Bang.
