Large Hadron Collider Starts Season 2 -- The Path of the Protons

Large Hadron Collider Starts Season 2 -- The Path of the Protons

We left the end of Season 1 with the ATLAS and CMS experiments announcing the discovery of the Higgs boson, which was the last piece of the puzzle known as the Standard Model. Now, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has started delivering physics data for the first time in 27 months. After an almost two year shutdown and several months of re-commissioning, the LHC is now providing collisions to all of its experiments at the unprecedented energy of 13 TeV, almost double the collision energy of its first run. This marks the start of Season 2 at the LHC, opening the way to new discoveries. The LHC will now run round the clock for the next three years.
