"Particle collisions record"
March 30, 2010
GENEVA - The first particle collisions at an energy never before reached were artificially superacceleratore obtained in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Ginevra.Viaggiando at a rate 'close to that of light, the protons are clashed energy of seven trillion electron volts (7 TeV) LHC 27 km from the ring, opening the possibility 'of discovery potential to revolutionize physics. The first particle beams have begun to align and synchronize, more and more 'neighbors, until they overlap perfectly and finally came the collision of the accelerator in the four big experiments, together with thunderous applause, shouts of joy, jump. Everywhere in the control rooms at CERN and enthusiasm 'for the stars. "We are on the threshold of a new world" for physicists working on the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world and begin an adventure that will leave its mark on the knowledge of the universe and laws that regulate it. Nearly 20 to wait for an extraordinary result, that the Director General of CERN, Rolf Heuer, and the scientific director, Sergio Bertolucci, deserved a toast with red wine in 1991, when it was signed, the project 's accelerator.
"The most exciting thing that we have before us is to discover the unknown," said Bertolucci in connection with a press conference organized after the collisions at Cern. For all the excitement is about today. "I'm speechless," said Chief LHC, Steve Myers. "I'm excited and happy, the event today is a milestone in physics." Even to the coordinator of the experiment Atlas, Fabiola Gianotti , the first collision resulted in "an emotion so intense as to leave you speechless. It 'was a fantastic moment and the LHC is a great subject: it is a complex technology behind it but many people and many young people, and especially for them this was a memorable day. " Today, he added, "is a point of arrival and departure for machine technology and unprecedented complexity that opens a fantastic era for the exploration of physics." "We knew that today we would see something different had happened many times in the simulations, but it really was completely different," said the coordinator of Cms, Guido Tonelli. "From now on - he added - each time is good for a discovery. "
DIRECTORS, GREAT TIME FOR SCIENCE -''E ' a fantastic moment for science, begins a new era of discovery' , 'said the enthusiastic director general of CERN Rolf Heuer, in conjunction with Japan ilCern Geneva. After the first collision occurred in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and Huer is' linked to Geneva along with the scientific director of CERN, Sergio Bertolucci.''Have you done an incredible job,''said the two directors to physicists, engineers and technicians from 16 years work in preparing the giant machine . The collision took place today, said Heuer, Are''a very significant event, a step forward not only for particle physics and understanding of the microcosm, but for Astrophysics and understanding of the universe.''
Heuer For the research that the LHC will make '''can not only bring' science to understand where we come from and how they evolve 'the university, but will' help in educating young people to science and will be able to 'convince them to invest more' in the world of science is both the private academy.'' As for minor incidents that have now postponed two times the collision, the Director General said that the LHC''and 'a completely new machine and not' a surprise if things do not work the first time. It 'absolutely not normal to have collisions on the first try, remember the lesson of September 2008,''he added, referring to the failure which had forced the car to a few days after a long pause. This time''- he said - we have identified the problem and are confident that there will be no risk of any kind.'' For Bertolucci, and now 'done''an unprecedented step forward in fundamental research, a step into the discovery of something completely new, like dark matter, the existence of new dimensions or what is' the source of mass''
