The final report CERN has been issued on the failure of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It has further informed that the device cannot be restarted before June 2009.  

It has not been much time since the LHC had commenced operating and a connection between two huge magnets burnt out. Due to this, a ton of liquid helium was released which damaged 53 of the magnets that are required to direct the proton stream around the 27km instrument.

LHC project Leader Lyn Evans reported, “We have a lot of work to do over the coming months. But we now have the roadmap, the time and the competence necessary to be ready for physics by summer. We are currently in a scheduled annual shutdown until May, so we're hopeful that not too much time will be lost.”

In order to prevent the same thing happening again, it is necessary that LHC is upgraded with an early warning system for gas leaks. To be more specific, it will require installation of 100 miles of cabling and 2,000 electronic sensors, at a cost of around $25 million.

CERN Director General Robert Aymar said, “The top priority for CERN today is to provide collision data for the experiments as soon as reasonably possible. This will be in the summer of 2009.”
