In short: the LHC will accelerate its first protons only in September

At a conference in Aix-la-Chapelle in 1990, the Nobel Prize in Physics Carlo Rubia provided for the start of LHC for 1998! The largest collider in the world should start this year but the first particle beams would circulate probably not before September if all goes well.
A few months ago, the “final planning” LHC (Large Hadron Collider) provided for the injection of the first beams of protons into the LHC late July and early 10 TeV collisions with power supply data to start experiments in late September. From late November 2008 to early April 2009 the LHC would be closed because of the enormous power of this instrument, difficult to reconcile with the demand for winter.
According to the latest information published on the site of the LHC, it will take until September for the injection of the first beams of protons. Preliminary tests needed, and it generates no incident, it is therefore possible that the first collisions do not occur during the month of November.
Then a long time to extract physics course as interesting observation eagerly awaited the Higgs boson, supersymmetry and maybe mini black holes.
