Large Hadron Collider Troubles: Helium leak partly to blame

The biggest experiment of all time seems to have troubles, the Large Hadron Collider or LHC for short has had troubles before it has really began to start and it seems that fried wiring and helium leaks are to blame.

The equipment failure is a major setback; this has come only mine days after it all begun where particles around its 16.6 mile (27km) track. The damage will obviously delay research at the particle accelerator for approximately two months.

The Large Hadron Collider operators were putting the newly installed electrical circuits through rigorous paces on Friday when they noticed that there was indeed a helium leak between the Alice and CMS detectors. For the full story please visit Ars Technica.
