Faulty electrical link in magnets suspected in Cern shutdown

摘要

A Faulty electrical connection between two magnets is the most likely cause of the Large Hadron Collider's shutdown last week. The ￡3.6 billion particle accelerator at Cern is out of action until next spring.rnCern said that an "incident" resulted in a large helium leak during commissioning of the final sector of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).rnEarly investigations have indicated a faulty connection between two of the accelerator's magnets.
