The organization that the Large Hadron Collider manages, CERN, has announced this year the LHC with a little more energy collisions. That would increase the likelihood of identifying the Higgs boson should increase.

The collisions with protons in the Large Hadron Collider were in the past year, carried out with a maximum energy of 3.5 tera-electron volts. The LHC, the particle accelerator under Geneva, switzerland, is built, however, was designed for collisions with higher energies. Because the world’s largest particle accelerator in 2010 and 2011 with the success of protons and lead ions are caused to collide, the researchers have sufficient confidence in the hardware with higher energy, the LHC will run throughout 2012 with 4TeV function.

The higher energy protons and lead ions to collide would be the probability of detection of the alleged Higgs boson increase, should this exist. In the past year took two detectors, Atlas and CMS experiments, kandidaatdeeltjes where in the 124 – 126GeV range. By more collisions to carry out with higher energy, it would be next year sufficient data should yield the particle to identify its existence to disprove.

With the coming 4TeV-collisions in the prospect would the LHC this year, three times more data than in 2011. Before the system is cooled down and running, it will be march. In november will be collisions in the LHC again ceased; then the particle accelerator to be prepared for experiments with even higher energy. The LHC was designed for 7TeV collisions. The preparation for this would be twenty months and the LHC would not be for 2014 to be re-started.
