Large Hadron Collider back up and running by Independent Television News Limited (ITN) According to a report by BBC News, an LHC spokesperson said this was the first time particle beams had been inside the LHC since it was shut down late in September 2008. Particle beams successfully injected into "Big Bang Machine" by Asian News International The aim of these simulations is to investigate the charge particle beam quality, which makes optimisation for a specific application possible.
