The Large Hadron Collider restarts

Yesterday, the world's largest experiment - the Large Hadron Collider at Cern - was restarted after 14 months of repairs.

Full details of the LHC restart can be seen on the BBC News online (and they also have a guide to the LHC).

The University of Sussex's involvement in the Large Hadron Collider is detailed here, and the scientists involved are willing to talk to your school about it! See our outreach offerings for information.

All go at the Large Hadron Collider!

There has been two important bits of news about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the worlds largest experiment which is devoted to the study of particle physics.

First up, the Experimental Particle Physics team here at the University of Sussex have now officially become part of the LHC team! The full story can be seen on the University News pages.

And secondly, scientists have successfully inserted protons into the collider (although no collisions have taken place as yet). The full story of that can be seen on the BBC News.
