Interview with a CERN physicist

3D animation showing some collisions

So far the collisions have only been at energies slightly above the injection energy, they hope to have the american tevatron beat by christmas. The detector teams will be working on calibrating and checking they match simulated results.

Re: LHC nears restart after repairs

Reading one of those comments at the end made by Mr Anonymous(and aren't there a lot of them) has cheered me up no end..so much pseudo science that makes even less sense than that of the LHC.

Re: LHC nears restart after repairs

I suppose physicists are joining the biologists with being stalked by nut cases. I blame the buzzwords and phrases that don't explain a thing but the press insist on using.

BBC journalists come to cern and train scientists in this "public communication" needless to say I don't like it.

Re: LHC nears restart after repairs

The following has nothing to do with LHC but is a related story to dark matter

Scientists have possibly found dark matter

What might it consist of?
It consists of weakly interacting massive particles (Wimps) and massive compact halo objects (Machos) — black holes or brown dwarfs that do not emit light
So there's machos and wimps

Re: LHC nears restart after repairs

But it's more than doubled the record for particle collision rate...

And possibly spotted a top quark...

It's being reported that all CERN accelerators will shut down in 2011 so that manpower will be available to fix the LHC...

Re: LHC nears restart after repairs

LHC has reached its luminosity target with protons 2 weeks early:
