The CERN (the European arties for Nuclear Research) said Thursday it has begun testing for the restart of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), stopped for more than two years.

The LHC was arrested in February 2013, after he had allowed to identify the Higgs boson, considered by physicists keystone of the fundamental structure of matter, an elementary particle that gives mass to many more.

When fully restored, the LHC will run with the most intense rays.

Scientists CERN hope to discover new particles, which could change our understanding of the world.

In the new period of operation, the scientists will probe supersymmetry, a theoretical concept called Susy, which also tries to explain dark matter.

The LHC should be restored within 15 days, at the end of March.

Of the bands containing billions of protons will be launched at a speed close to that of light and circulate inside the ring, 27 km long, in a tunnel that extends underground on the French-Swiss border.
