Two years ago, the researchers decided to stop TANK for modernization, then the Collider was supposed to start again in March of this year. However, due to technical problems caused by a short of one of the magnets of the device, the launch was postponed. One of the main goals of the upgrade of the Collider was to increase the collision energy of protons from 8 to 13 teraelectronvolt (TeV). Experts believe that this level of energy will open new opportunities for the study of matter. As reported at CERN, at the moment at the LHC began to circulate the first beams of protons, and in the beginning of June will be held at the LHC experiments on the collision of particles with an energy of 13 TeV. Some scientists are already predicting the discovery of new particles which is of greater interest to science than the Higgs boson. Recall that the researchers hope to identify the so-called supersymmetric particles, or gluino. If they appear in the TANK, then scientists will receive the first empirical proof of the existence of "dark matter".
