Hadron Collider relaunch delayed

[muriel_volestrangler]

The Large Hadron Collider could be switched back on in September - a year after it shut down due to a malfunction and several months later than expected.

Scientists had said they expected the £3.6bn ($5.4bn) machine to be repaired by November, but then pushed the date back to June, before the latest delay.
...
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (Cern) said: "The new schedule foresees first beams in the LHC at the end of September this year, with collisions following in late October."

2. Gawd, please make this deadline..

At risk of the LHC becoming a multi-billion dollar boondoggle.

I've read some articles that say the LHC will be beaten by desktop accelerators within 10-20 years. Time is running out and I want my Higgs dammit.
