Large Hadron Collider 2015: CERN Particle Accelerator Back In Action – With MORE Energy Than Ever After Higgs Boson Evidence!

The baby of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (known as CERN for its French name) is back in action once again, after the first evidence of the actual existence of the Higgs boson popped up in the summer of 2012 - and now scientists are turning up the Large Hadron Collider 2015 to unseen potency.

As CERN's website explains, the Large Hadron Collider 2015 is the biggest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world, and it first started up on September 2008, consisting of a ring of superconducting magnets with accelerating structures that boost the particles' energy along 27 kilometers in the subterranean border between Switzerland and France.

According to Forbes, this is the first Large Hadron Collider 2015 action, as the particle collider had been shut down for 27 straight months for maintenance and upgrade work in a repair that cost approximately $160 million, as scientists aimed to almost double the energy of its first run to go deeper into research.

The Verge reports that scientists have already announced that the Large Hadron Collider 2015 is already delivering data from experiments, as researchers have risen energy levels to 13 trillion electron volts (TeV), almost twice the previous maximum 8 TeV the collider achieved in its initial run, which went from 2010 to 2013.

This marks the start of the second phase of the Large Hadron Collider 2015, as it will continue to work non-stop for the next three years gathering new information about, how "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" would put it, "the answer to life, the universe and everything."

As Stuff reports, the first bits of data will be pouring in from 3:30 pm AEST time this Wednesday, and scientists are not quite sure they will find after having discovered the first evidence towards the now Nobel Physics Prize-winning Higgs boson - so the Large Hadron Collider 2015 marks a great time to be learning about science!
