The LHC is one of the world’s largest and most
complex scientific instruments. Its design and
construction required more than 20 years of hard
work and the unique expertise of a number of experts.
Following on from the discovery of the Higgs boson in
2012, the machine continues to run at unprecedented
energy to give physicists access to phenomena that
have so far remained out of reach.
The full exploitation of the LHC and its
high-luminosity upgrade programme, the High
Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), have been identifi ed
as one of Europe’s highest priorities for the next
decade in the European Strategy for Particle Physics
(CERN Courier July/August 2013 p9) adopted
by CERN Council in the special session held in
Brussels on 30 May 2013. The HL-LHC was also
recently selected as one of the 29 landmark projects
of the European Strategy Forum on Research
Infrastructures (ESFRI) 2016 Roadmap.
The latest run-up promises a lot of new power and hopefully, more nacent discoveries. LTC Stephen F. LTC Stephen C. SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL SSG James J.

I suppose my normal excellent hearing must have missed that thud SSgt (Join to see) as CERN dropped 300TB of raw collider data to the Internet. that volume may have caused a ripple in terms of data flow across the internet.

New Additions to the Periodic Table of Elements that haven't been seen since the Creation of the Universe. Should be Interesting.
