It was run on very low power: the full functionality is still possibly a year away. Nevertheless, the accelerator worked well.
The test particles were protons. They were accelerated in a clockwise direction - the anti clockwise direction is yet to be [...]

My other site @ Super Physics

It is about high level physics - you will get a good idea about it if you visit it (and are interested in physics, of course). I developed it long ago, but I confess it has been neglected lately.
And unlike [...]
