Good luck at the LHC!

By Hamish Johnston

I know I’m not alone in wishing physicists at CERN good luck tonight as they try to get a beam all the way round the Large Hadron Collider — for the first time since the LHC failed spectacularly last year.

“The LHC is a much better understood machine than it was a year ago, and we can look forward with confidence to a smooth transition into physics,” said CERN director general Rolf-Dieter Heuer earlier today.

“By the time you come into work next week, I hope we’ll have beams circulating in the LHC,” he added.
