Abstract

The article reports on the announcement of the European Organization for Nuclear Research that faulty wiring will put Large Hardron Collider out of service for two months. The author stated that the cause of the large helium leak in the collider's 17-mile, underground vacuum-sealed tube is the melting of the electrical connection between two magnets. In addition, a collision of two beams has also been planned for fall.
