Beams collided at 7 trillion electron volts (7 TeV) in the Large Hadron Collider on March 30 at CERN, marking the start of the LHC research program. Particle physicists around the world are looking forward to a potentially rich harvest of new physics as the LHC begins its first long run at an energy three and a half times higher than previously achieved at a particle accelerator.
