Already a record holder for mashing protons together at
7 TeV (trillion electron volts), the
Large Hadron Collider can now add world's brightest beam to its list of accomplishments. Beam intensity is a way of measuring the number of collisions in its 17-mile-long track, and a higher intensity means more impacts -- which, in turn, means more data, increasing the likelihood that the elusive Higgs boson will rear its head (should such a thing exist). The LHC smashed the previous luminosity record set last year by the
Tevatron collider. What's next for the CERN team, with two world records under its belt? Largest beard of bees.
