After three years of hiatus for updates and maintenance and with delays due to the pandemic, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will begin its third round of activity (Run 3) on Tuesday (July 5). With new instruments and capacities, the great machine will have as its objective in the next three years to try to explain phenomena of physics that are not yet clear.
Physicists will gradually increase the energy of the collisions, until reaching the maximum power (a record 13.6 TeV, or 13.6 billion electron volts) in August. They will try to find the ‘right-handed’ neutrinos, and the much-sought particles that are supposed to make up dark matter, the mysterious substance that is invisible but five times more abundant than normal matter.
