The Chronicle of Higher Education : CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has announced that it will delay starting up the giant Large Hadron Collider from this November until May 2008. The decision was taken at a council meeting earlier this week.The move has a number of implications for the particle physics community, including the likihood that the lifetime of Fermilab’s collider the Tevatron might extended in order to try and beat the LHC to discovery of the Higgs Boson particle.
