(AGI) – Rome, April 5 – After two years of intensive work of consolidation and several months of preparation for the restart, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most ‘powerful particle accelerator in the world, and’ back in operation at CERN in Geneva. A first beam of protons – reports a statement of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics – and ‘returned to circulate inside the ring of the LHC underground, 27 km long, followed by a second beam in rotation in the opposite direction. The beams have circulated to the energy of injection of 450 GeV. LHC enters so ‘in its second season of operation (RUN2). Gradually the operators of the machine will increase the energy of the beams and, thanks to the work done in the last two years, the LHC will reach ‘unprecedented energy: almost double the first season, will work’ ie ‘at 6.5 TeV per beam (compared to 3.5 TeV before). The collision energy of 13 TeV are expected before summer: sara ‘to the time when the LHC experiments will start to lay their eyes on a “territory” unexplored. “With the restart of the LHC, the adventure begins, we are leaving behind the Higgs boson, and now it opens a door for us to a world we do not know,” said Fernando Ferroni, president of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics , the body that coordinates the participation of Italy at CERN and the LHC project. “We trust that this new exploration can help us shed some ‘light on the dark components of the universe, but we also hope in unexpected surprises … the premises are the best, so I just have to wish good job at LHC!” concludes Ferroni.
