CERN began collecting data and write new history – Vanguardia Liberal

Once again the European Center for Particle Physics will make history and now, in addition to their crucial investigations, it does so because it applied energy in their processes that had ever recorded.

The detectors at CERN, the European Center for Particle Physics, first began recording data of the shocks produced by two beams of protons They collide at an energy of 13 TeV (tera).

On 21 May, for the first time in history, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN got a beam of protons circulate a 6.5 TeV energy allowing collisions at an energy of 13 TeV.

All set

These first collisions were performed to check the systems that protect the own accelerator magnets and detectors of particles that deviate from the beam.

It was critical that safety tests be conducted while circulating proton beams collided and between them to verify how they work in real conditions

Since then scientists have been putting in place the apparatus to start collecting data with the four detectors.. ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb

Gran global expectation

The CERN announced it will begin collecting data, something that does not happen in the past 27 months, since the HLC has been under work maintenance, according to a statement.

The clashes will occur at an energy never achieved until last month, so it is not known what data is collected and the expectation is capitalized.

“This new phase will usher in the stage 2 of the LHC, which will open the way for new discoveries,” the brief statement.

In this new phase of operations, improved throttle may use any its capacity in the period between 2016 and 2018, during which aims to shed light on the composition of dark matter.

The LHC is the largest and most powerful accelerator in the world, with conductive magnets operating at Battery mode, and the stored energy is equivalent to that of an aircraft carrier moving at 43 kilometers per hour or an Airbus 380 flying at seven hundred kilometers.

Specifications

The accelerator has the shape of a ring 27 kilometers in circumference and is located within about fifty meters underground tunnel between Switzerland and France.

To work required to be at a temperature of 217 degrees Celsius, lower than that of space.

In 2012, the LHC allowed one of the largest discoveries to date in the world of physics: empirically demonstrate the existence of the Higgs boson, which confirmed the Standard Model that is based on the particle physics.
