[Press Release] Proton beams are back in the LHC http://t.co/OMgJ6w84Cr #RestartLHC pic.twitter.com/rdTsuCkWLk - CERNpress (CERNpress) April 5, 2015 blockquote> So, April 5, 2015 LHC successfully launched. Who is the real clash is not planned. At least another month beams will drive without collisions, gradually increasing the injection energy. But in early June to begin actual experiments with energies greater than those which were before the upgrade of the LHC. Collision energy proton beams is increased from 8 to 13 TeV, which will open up new opportunities for research.

Over the past two years conducted a serious inspection and repair LHC collider replaced 18 of the 1232 superconducting magnets bipolar, which adjust the direction and focus particle beams on the accelerator. The remaining magnets have provided improved protection system cooling. A new system to better control the dissipation of the energy, in order to avoid damage to the collider. Improved cryogenic system that allows the magnets to operate at low temperatures.
With the world's most powerful particle accelerator physicists hope to make more numerous discoveries, checking the stability of the Standard Model. One of the goals of the second launch of the LHC will be the search for dark matter. In 2015, scientists will study the possibility of a modernized colossus LHC, and in 2016-2018 plans to conduct real experiments.
Updated Collider will run for three years, until a new technical stop to check the equipment.
