CERN researchers are preparing to conduct experiments at the Large Hadron Collider after a two-year shutdown. The LHC is more powerful now than it was before the overhaul. Researchers are optimistic that the LHC-restart will enable them make new discoveries to understand the existence of universe.
The rise in power of the LHC has increased the hopes of researchers to make new breakthroughs to understand the reason behind the formation of the universe and why everything in the universe has mass.
Scientists will collide two particle beams with each other in order to smash them together at nearly the speed of light. The evidence of the Higgs boson meant confirmation for the fundamental particle that enables all other particles in the ‘Standard Model’ of physics to have matter.
CERN researchers are geared up to restart the LHC to gather data from massive collisions slated to take place from about 3.30pm on Wednesday.
“During Run 1, we were storing 1 gigabyte-per-second, with the occasional peak of 6 gigabytes-per-second. For Run 2, what was once our "peak" will now be considered average, and we believe we could even go up to 10 gigabytes-per-second if needed”, said Alberto Pace, who leads the Data and Storage Services group within the IT Department.
With the LHS providing CERN researchers a chance to once again conduct experiments, chances are high that results will help remove the lid from many long-hidden secrets behind the existence of universe.
