Hello all scholars,
I want to know- what is happening with Large Hadron Collider these days?
Moderator: This is a duplicate topic. The other topic with this content was deleted.
What apparently happened was that the LHC experienced an electrical malfunction that occurred in the superconducting dipole magnets, this caused a Helium leak in the magnets cooling system. I guess they don't expect it to be operating until Summer 09.

Thanks,
Thanks,
heh apparantly there is like a massive conspiracy about the LHC 
oh no the world is going to blow up!

Hi All,
Hi Rasta, I believe you have the cause and effect reversed. (Going from memory) the leak caused the coils to lose their superconductivity, resulting in a resistive related over heating of the coil.
If you know differently, I'm all ears. It's hard to find the specifics goggling.
Oh, and Eior, pleaaaase don't get that madness started again!
Peace,
Ron
