Scientists from the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid detector has now totted up all of the resulting particle interactions. They wrote in the Journal of High Energy Physics that the run created more particles than theory predicted. However, the glut of particles should not affect results as the experiment runs to even higher energies this year. The LHC is designed to smash together particles and atoms circling its 27km-tunnel in a bid to find evidence of further particles that underpin the field of physics as it is currently formulated. The December announcement of particle beam energies in excess of one trillion electron volts made the LHC the world's highest-energy particle accelerator.
