CANADA: Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider will start collecting data for the first time in more than two years after a $150 million overhaul, Europe’s CERN particle-physics center says.
The LHC’s first run, which ended in early 2013, resulted in the discovery of the long-sought Higgs boson the last fundamental subatomic particle predicted by the Standard Model, one of physics’ most successful theories.
Test collisions at 13 teraelectronvolts could already have produced exotic material like dark matter, which is thought to make up nearly 85 per cent of the matter in the universe but has never been directly seen.
“Depending on which theory you believe, there could be dark matter particles being produced all the time, but they are very hard to spot,” says Newbold.
