...magnets are now in the midst of the long cooling process back towards absolute zero temperatures, and the LHC is slated to be turned on again late this year or in early...
...LHC itself consists of a 27-kilometer ring of superconducting magnets, inside of which two beams of high-energy particles are collided in a vacuum at very low temperature: -271 degrees Celsius, according to LeCompte...
When activated, the LHC will be used to examine a hole in what is known as the Standard Model of particle physics—a theoretical framework that is used to draw links between the four “fundamental forces” of the universe and the 12 elementary particles on which those forces...
When the particles in the LHC collide at high energies, “We’ll see huge numbers of particles coming out and every so often there will be a very rare collision that will produce some exotic form of matter,” said Huth...
Unfortunately for Huth, the mysteries of nature have had to be put on hold while the LHC is repaired...
