What ever happened to that hadron collider?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

They had a slight glitch and had to fix it.

It is expected to be up and running again by Summer 2009 (not as easy as changing tires on a F1 car :)

Currently, the LHC is being repaired. It'll be back up and running in 2009, though.

From wikipedia(look at the wiki page for citations) :

Problems with a magnet quench on 19 September 2008 caused a leak of six tonnes of liquid helium, and delayed the operation for several months.[48] The LHC is expected to be restarted in summer 2009.[8][9] It is currently believed that a faulty electrical connection between two magnets ignited a spark, which compromised the liquid-helium cooling. Once the cooling layer was broken, the helium flooded the surrounding vacuum layer with sufficient force to break 10-ton magnets from their mountings. The explosion also contaminated the proton tubes with soot.[9][49]
