Large Hadron Collider to Hibernate Until Spring

The helium leak which caused the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to shut down last Friday will mean that the LHC will be in hibernation until Spring 2009. While the repairs will take approximately two months, as I indicated earlier, the lab shuts down in the winter to save costs. Officials with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) decided not to restart the world's largest particle accelerator until next year.
