Large Hadron Collidor to be taken off line again
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) must close at the end of 2011 for up to a year to address design issues, according to an LHC director. Dr Steve Myers told BBC News the faults will delay the machine reaching its full potential for two years.The atom smasher will reach world record collision energies later this month at 7 trillion electron volts. design was for 14 Tev But joints between the machine's magnets must be strengthened before higher-energy collisions can commence. The Geneva-based machine only recently restarted after being out of action for 14 months following an accident in September 2008. plus setbacks caused by LHC created temporal anomalies, krenim time machine, going the wrong way around the sun etc. Posted by: lord garth 2010-03-11 |
