The Particle accelerator LHC stops working by an electrical failure

The European Organization of Nuclear Investigation (CERN, by its abbreviations in English) declared that the operation of the enormous hadron collider was suspended, the major of her type in the world, because day 17 took place an electrical failure.

The spokesman of the CERN said that the failure took place in the system of cooling installed in a circular tunnel of 27 kilometers to a depth of 100 meters below the Earth surface. Due to this electrical failure, the work of the system was suspended. Esteem that will return to work day 19 later after the electrical system is repaired.

It added: It is normal to produce a failure because the enormous hadron collider has a very complicated structure and, in addition, is in experimental operation.

The enormous hadron collider of Europe was put into operation the 10 of September. The scientists wish to discover the mystery of the origin of the Universe and an elementary particle called Higgs Boson by means of this collider, the major of their type now in the world.
