Today, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has initiated the test collisions of proton beams for the first time this year. While these are only test collisions, they are an essential step along the way to serious data taking, which is expected to kick off in early May. Find out more: http://cern.ch/go/Q7wm | CERN

Follow the protons The accelerator complex at CERN is a succession of machines that accelerate particles to increasingly higher energies. Each machine boosts the energy of a beam of particles before injecting it into the next machine, with the last part of the complex being the #LHC. But what is so complex about the accelerator complex? Watch to follow the journey of the beams to the #LHC.
