Named cause of the Greater Hadron Collider

Experts of the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) on Thursday issued a preliminary report on the investigation into the causes of breakage of Greater Hadron Collider (BAC), which took place on 19 September.

Scientists have concluded that the cause of the accident was the malfunction in the electrical circuit caused when the amperage in the dipole magnet. Created by the failure arc probila tank with liquid helium, which is used for cooling installed in the collider magnets. As a result of the tunnel BAKa horrible six tons of the substance.

Immediately after the failure worked security system collider, which have minimized the consequences of the accident. According to CERN, no problems with the resumption of the collider and prevent similar accidents in future, scientists have not.

As previously reported, for the repair of the Greater Hadron Collider from scientists will take a few months. It is expected that the world's largest particle accelerator will be resumed in 2009.
