The LHC has launched a particle with energy 6, 5 TeV
The Large Hadron Collider has broken its own record for the maximum energy of the particle beam. April 9, 2015 the operators have launched a particle with energy 6 5 trillion electron volts (TeV).
The illustration above shows a picture with the diagnostic screen accelerator between 22:45 and 1:30. The graph shows the power of the first stream (in blue) and a second stream (red). The black line shows the energy of the second stream, which began to grow in the region of 0:35 with the entry-level 450 GeV to 6500 GeV (6, 5 TeV).

Physicists plan in the future to carry out real столкновение particles with energies of 6, 5 TeV .
One TeV - a 10 12 sup> electronvolts taken in elementary particle physics, energy units. EV is the energy acquired by an electron, flying between two points with a potential difference of one volt and 1.2 eV photon energy correspond approximately to visible light. Proton overclocked to power in 6, 5 TeV, has an energy of about one microjoule - the energy of a flying mosquito concentrated in a single subatomic particle. The total energy of the beam at the time of the collider in the normal mode is comparable to the kinetic energy of a flying airplane, explain scientific TASS correspondent .

Testing Accelerator will last a few weeks, and then the scientists will conduct the actual particle collisions. Tentatively, such experiments planned for the beginning of the summer.
