Large Hadron Collider set a record speed of elementary particles
November 30, 2009 – 11:49 pmLarge Hadron Collider (LHC) on Monday night set a new world record acceleration of elementary particles in an accelerator. Bunches of protons were accelerated to the energy of 1.18 TeV (teraelectronvolt). Thus, the collider has surpassed a record U.S. Tevatron accelerator (Tevatron) Fermilab, where protons were dispersed in 2001 to an energy of 0.98 TeV.
new achievement collider “is another important milestone on the way to new physics, which will begin at the LHC in 2010, said in a press release, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Promising experiments at the LHC will be held at the collision energies of 7 TeV.
recall that on November 20 Large Hadron Collider, located on the border of France and Switzerland, was re-launched after 14 months of inactivity due to serious breakage.
