LHC restart pushed back further
News According to the document, written by Jorg Weninger, a member of the operations group, 'Plan A' called for a restart of the experiment in late summer 2009, with the beam energy and intensity limited to minimise the risk of another accident.

LHC on course for November restart
News Within two weeks, scientists will inject a beam of protons into the LHC and guide them around the first sector. The first beam collisions are predicted for mid-November and will take place at half a tera electron volt (TeV), said Gillies.

LHC disaster.
Talkback To keep the project on schedule, the team running the accelerator near Geneva have decided to skip a planned test run at an intermediate energy and re-start the LHC in 2009 at the full beam energy of 7 TeV.
