First 13 TeV collisions

Some images and updates from the LHC and ATLAS.

21.05.2015

Last night, and for the first time ever, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collided protons at the record-breaking energy of 13 TeV. For now it's only 'test collisions' to set up systems that protect the machine and detectors from particles that stray from the edges of the beam, but in early June we expect to fully restart the hunt for New Physics.
