Collider Maximilien Brice , CERN Today the Large Hadron Collider began collecting data for the first time in two . years The world's most powerful particle accelerator powered back on in April and saw its first record-energy collisions in May . Today it began colliding particles at a steady rate to provide data for . research This time around , the LHC is colliding particles at 13 trillion electronvolts , a 60 percent boost from its 2012 record of 8 . TeV Because we have higher energy , more particles are

This is one of the last important steps on the way toward data collection , which is scheduled for early . June As engineers ramp up the energy of the collider , the positions of the beams of particles change . The protons are also focused into much tighter packets , so getting two bunches to actually
