CERN has announced that on March 30th it will attempt the first 7 TeV collisions at its Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This very important event, in fact marks, the beginning of LHC's physics programme to test and explore the Standard Model of particle physics, looking for its missing pieces (Higgs boson) or for evidence showing the way for going beyond this model. So far the highest energy achieved in particle collisions has been that of FermiLab accelerator at 1.9 TeV, and a 7 TeV collision by itself constitutes a landmark in the history of high energy experiments. Each of the 3.5 TeV beams were already successfully circulated around the 27 km circumference of LHC on March 19th.
The Particles and Accelerators department of IPM is one of the 35 institutes around the world which are marking this event by taking part in its live broadcast. The broadcast will take place in the CMS room of IPM's Larak campus through direct connection to CERN. The live broadcast will start at 11 AM local time.
