Geneva atom smasher set for record collisions

The world’s largest atom smasher was ready to start a new era of science on Tuesday, but problems delayed scientists seeking to collide the first beams of protons to learn more about the makeup of the universe and its smallest particles. (News Source: MSNBC - 08:38:32)

At Large Hadron Collider, scientists await highest-energy proton beam collision

The goal is to reproduce conditions that were present less than a billionth of a second after the Big Bang that created the universe, yielding particles including the elusive Higgs boson. Some time after midnight Monday Los Angeles time — more than a year and a half later than originally projected — researchers in Geneva were expected to begin smashing two proton beams together at the highest … (News Source: Los Angeles Times - 03:42:55)

Is the manmade Big Bang around the corner?

Scientists will be stepping up efforts to detect the elusive ‘God Particle’ by triggering collision of two proton beams in the world’s largest atom smasher located on the Franco-Swiss border on the outskirts of Geneva on Tuesday. (News Source: rediff.com - 07:33:27)

Atom smasher set for record

GENEVA - THE world’s largest atom smasher is ready to start a new era of science on Tuesday, colliding beams of protons to learn more about the makeup of the universe and its smallest particles. Dubbed the world’s largest scientific experiment, the US$10 billion (S$14 billion) Large Hadron Collider holds the promise of revealing details about theoretical particles and microforces, scientists say.
