Geneva, Mar 30, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The world’s biggest energy particle accelerator which is known by the name of LHC or the Large Hadron Collider is hogging the spotlight today. The scientists are of the opinion that it can offer a new breakthrough about the big bang theory. The mammoth collider which is located outside Geneva’s CERN laboratory has a circumference over 16 miles. The particle research experts aim to get new insight into the facts regarding the creation of the universe from this collider in the upcoming days. CERN had plans to collide the proton beams in both directions at a staggering speed of 7 tera-electron-volts. The LHC developed a small snag and it delayed the experiment temporarily.However, later the scientists were able to complete the test successfully.
The U.S. Department of Energy is backing the research that is being conducted using the LHC. It is an undeniable fact that the LHC is among the most complicated scientific apparatus ever built. It has been designed by 10000 people from several countries. The team includes scientists, engineers, students of many US Universities and technicians. The mystery surrounding the dark matter may be resolved using the LHC, according to the researchers. Reportedly, the LHC researchers made two beams of 3.5 TeV collide against each other for stimulating the big bang explosion. Rolf Heuer, the Director-General of CERN earlier said that LHC is not perfect and the collisions may not yield the expected result in the first attempt.
The LHC will be closed for a year after two years of operation and an improvisation would be carried out by the specialists so that later it can operate with full capacity. After the success in today’s test, the scientists are elated.
