Congratulations to the LHC

At about midday, the Large Hadron Collider today achieved a new world record energy - 7 Tera electon Volts - for colliding protons. This is the start of 18-24 months of operation to start studying the fundamental structure of matter at this new energy.

Congratulations to all of the scientists in Oxfordshire, CERN and around the world who contributed to this huge effort. See here for my last post on the LHC and the Oxfordshire connection.
