El Colisionador de Hadrones parará durante dos años

Large Hadron Collider shuts down for two years of upgrades

 

 

No, finding the Higgs boson doesn't mean the end of physics. But as of today, no atoms will be smashed at the LHC (the Large Hadron Collider at CERN) for approximately two years. During that time, every piece of hardware around the accelerator's full circumference will get some attention, as will the detectors that track collisions.

The LHC was designed to collide protons with a total energy of 14TeV (Tera-electron Volts), but a catastrophic failure early in its history revealed some of the superconducting connectors within the hardware wasn't up to the task. As a result, the LHC hasn't run collisions at energies above 8TeV. Each of these connectors, which link segments of the pipe that the beam travels within, will be replaced over the next two years. While the machine is shut down, the detectors used to track particles will receive maintenance and upgrades.

We're at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science this week, and there will be updates on the properties of the Higgs, as well as the search for dark matter particles. Hopefully we'll hear more about the work that went on during the physics runs of the past several years.

Si es que el que está al cargo de todo eso debe de haber jugado al Half Life, y sabe que forzar la máquina cuando ya ha tenido fallos durante el inicio de las pruebas, puede llevar consecuencias imprevistas

Una vez ajustado el rendimiento del LHC ha sido sobresaliente. Ahora para con el fin de aumentar la energía a su máximo, pero se han recogido datos para analizar mucho más que dos años. Y nos esperan grandes sorpresas.

Y digo, ¿no podrían meter en el colisionador de ladrones este a algunos políticos y banqueros y lanzarlos unos contra otros a la velocidad de la luz para ver que les pasa?

CHOF!!!! ajosajosajos.

que me den a mi 100 gramos de antimateria que ya veras por donde se lo meto a rajoy por no redactar la ley de telecomunicaciones este año tampoco....voy a tener que olvidarme de volver a trabajar en medios de comunicacion y dedicarme a como mucho barrer las calles.
