Final LHC Synchronization Test a Success

A video by CERN. Date- 25th August 08 Source- http://cdsweb.cern.ch/collection/Video%20Movies

'Geneva, 25 August 2008. CERN has today announced the success of the second and final test of the Large Hadron Collider's beam synchronization systems which will allow the LHC operations team to inject the first beam into the LHC. Friday evening 22 August, a single bunch of a few particles travelled down the transfer line from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) accelerator to the LHC. After a period of optimization, one bunch was kicked up from the transfer line into the LHC beam pipe and steered counter-clockwise about 3 kilometres around the LHC. "Thanks to a fantastic team, both the clock-wise and counter-clockwise tests went without a hitch. We look forward to a resounding success when we make our first attempt to send a beam all the way around the LHC," said Lyn Evans, LHC Project Leader. Both the counter-clockwise and clockwise tests are part of the preparations to ready the LHC, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, for the eventual acceleration and collision of two beams at an energy of 5 TeV per beam. This unprecedented event is foreseen to take place by end 2008.'

sickle,calm down,the machine can do more good then bad.

A religion is a method of explaining things that we can not rationalize. My religion is science, and I believe we were not erected from slime but that we simply evolved.

The time for the church to explain things to us we can not rationalize is over, vivum illuminati

@beltonbarilyn

to understand earth itself, you must understand the universe.

@criscobucketeer wutever u say bro

@beltonbarilyn black people arent smart enough. and they are too religious. religion holds everyone back. give up "god" and you shall be free

MAN THE END IS NEAR :( what happend to the good old days why do people care about the universe jus worry about earth :( do any of these people believe in God :( im not tryna bring race in here but i dnt see any black people in dis video .why do white people wanna no more then what is neccessary

@ccalvinn27 They had some "issues" when they finally started it up to do experiments ... apparently a bird eating a bagel above one of the transformers managed to mess the power up for a large section of the collider, adding to cost of repair and time loss ....

@Sickleninja2

for sure we can. theres nothing else BUT physics

[xlightwavex]

lol so much for scientific knowlege

the illuminati were 16th century bankers

who formed a kind of club

the church please the book that was edited countless times

i dont believe in santa anymore either sorry

damn scientists need this test

cause lets face it thier stuck hard to prove or disprove hypothesis without tests

[jleo841]

anyone who claims to know the absolute truth....whether it be religion or science is the furthest from the real truth. Expand your mind people!

[ccalvinn27]

wow... they did the final test in 2008 august... ITS 2009!!!! JEEEEEZ
