The Large Hadron Collider set a new world record on Monday, accelerating its twin beams of protons to unprecedented energy levels, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) said on its website.
The record of 1.18 TeV comes 10 days after the LHC was restarted. The previous world record of 0.98 TeV had been held by the U.S. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory's Tevatron collider since 2001, CERN said.
The first circulating beam of protons successfully made it through the LHC's entirety on November 20. Last Monday, beams of protons started circulating in both directions around the LHC, and the first proton collisions were produced.
