Submission + - LHC smashes beam collision record (bbc.co.uk) 2
siloko writes: The world's highest-energy particle accelerator has produced a record-breaking particle collision rate — about double the previous record. The collider is now generating around 10,000 particle collisions per second, according to physicist Andrei Golutvin. Ramping up the funding rhetoric Mike Lamont told BBC News "It's clear that the LHC is the new boy in town, but in two years running we're going to put Fermilab out of business". As a neutral all I can say is the more collisions the better!
