Before the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, can begin to unlock the mysteries of the universe — as physicists around the world hope it will — it has to be taken for a series of test drives. Scientists on Monday did just that, driving protons into each other at energies approaching 550 billion electron volts, and the resulting successful collision is being hailed as an important first step to realizing the LHC’s ultimate capabilities. “The way complicated accelerators are built, you go through a commissions process,” said Fred Dylla of the American Institute of Physics.
