The first after the accident in the fall of 2008, the Proton beam successfully passed through the entire ring of a large Adron Collider. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to an employee of the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN).
“The first bundle was completely walked around the ring. There were no problems,” said the interlocutor of the agency, who is in the control center of the accelerator.
The official representative of Cern, James Gilles, said that the launch operation could take on Saturday, after which the researchers "begin to accelerate elementary particles." Gillis added that the collider should earn full force only in January next year, ITAR-TASS reports.
Last year, it was precisely the passage of Protons throughout the accelerator ring that was called the launch of the collider, journalists were invited to this event, and scientists noted success with champagne.
This year, Cern promises to invite the press to the first clashes of particles for energy 7 Teraelectronolt, this is expected to happen only in February.
The tank was first launched in September 2008. In a 27-meter tunnel located at a 100-meter depth, beams of protons and lead ions were placed. Using electromagnets, it was planned to disperse them to a speed close to the light. It was assumed that the results obtained in the collision of particles would allow scientists to get deeper into the secrets of matter. However, after several days, the experiment was stopped due to the melting of contacts in the collider magnet system.
It was originally reported that the repair of a tank, the construction of which cost 10 billion francs ($ 9.8 billion), would take several months, but it dragged on for a year.
