Scientists to activate refurbished LHC in March

Leading scientist are working to activate the refurbished, higher-energy Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during the month of march and mini expect the world's largest equipment of its kind will unlock new mysteries.

Physicists from across the world expect the LHC, which discovered the Higgs particle in 2012, to unravel new mysteries of the universe.Berkeley Lab researchers, Beate Heinemann and Peter Jacobs were on a discussion panel to discuss the implications of this improved accelerator at the annual meeting of American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Jose.

Most experts believe that the second tests on the LHCwill produce more data to refine the Standard Model, which is a theory that describes subatomic particles and the controlling forces.Heinemann said that this refinement is needed as there are some unanswered questions that are yet to be solved.

The LHC first came on line in 2010 with a cost of $12 billion. The engineers and scientists took more than a decade to build the LHC. In 2012, LHC experiments called ATLAS and CMS had found evidence for the Higgs boson, which gives mass to other particles.The LHC has been shut down for maintenance in 2013.
