The machine of 'Big Bang' is out of play until the spring of 2009. Those responsible the newly opened Large Hadron Collider (LHC) today announced that the damage suffered by the force Friday keep it paralyzed at least six months.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) began its operation last September 10 which has been considered the most expensive scientific project and ambitious to date. Less than two weeks after he ripped it emerged that he had suffered a helium leak so should stand at least two months.
Now, the project leaders have announced that they will be just 60 days to be arrested, but his work will not resume until spring of next year, as reported by the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). Early research
on the fault indicate that the collapse was probably due to mechanical failure in the electrical connection between two of the accelerator's magnets, and this problem will take about eight weeks to repair. Subsequently, as every winter, CERN will stop the operation of all facilities to perform tasks Manen, so the LHC will not start again until spring of next year.
"This is undoubtedly a psychological blow," acknowledged yesterday Robert Aymar, the director of the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva. "However, I am convinced that we will overcome this setback with the same rigor with which we have built and up this great accelerator, "Aymar said.
Last Friday, two of the magnets that make up the interior of the LHC underground tunnel melted, causing a leak of a ton of liquid helium in the gas. The incident set off any alarms in the control room, in what many consider the most ambitious scientific experiment in history, and forced to call the fire department to verify that there was no risk of fire.
Once operational, the LHC cause collisions between protons traveling at nearly the speed of light, to recreate conditions that existed at the origins of the Universe and detect particles most basic of the subject.
also suffered a hacking attack
The path of this machine 'Big Bang' and has been punctuated by other mishaps. A few days later you got a group of inaugurda hackers Greek was introduced into LHC computer network, to demonstrate, in this way, the vulnerability of the installation.
In the LHC, a circular tunnel 27 kilometers nestled in the Alps, between France and Switzerland, CERN scientists seek to recreate the conditions in which there was 'Big Bang'. To do this, try to make the collision of particles at the speed of light. One
los objetivos más ambiciosos es hallar el hipotético bosón de Higgs, nombrado por algunos "la partícula de Dios". La existencia de esta partícula se cree indispensable para explicar por qué las partículas elementales tienen masa y por qué las masas son tan diferentes entre ellas. Durante más dos décadas se ha trabajado en la elaboración de este tunel, cuyo su diseño y construcción ha supuesto una inversión de 4.000 millones de euros.
El objetivo es reproducir las condiciones que existían inmediatamente después del 'Big Bang', con la intención de desentrañar los grandes enigmas que siguen rodeando a la naturaleza de la materia, e identificar con más certeza que nunca los ladrillos fundamental that it is composed.
