Hadron collider restart set for November
The massive physics project will get going again in incremental stages, more than a year after its much anticipated first try fizzled out.
The world's largest particle accelerator is on course for a November restart. Six out of eight superconducting sectors are down to working cryogenic temperatures, according to CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
James Gillies, head of communications for CERN, told ZDNet UK on Monday that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) would probably be ready to collide beams of particles by mid-November.
"Things are going well," said Gillies. "We hesitate to say 'hurray' just yet, but things are going smoothly."
Gillies said CERN plans to restart the giant experiment in incremental stages.
