CERN, Europe's particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, made improvements to the particle collider so it can run at a higher intensity, according to the Business Standard.
The first run of LHC had a goal and the Higgs bosin was discovered, but the second run doesn't have a particular objective. According to the Business Standard, the data will be used to identify any phenomena that differ from the standard model of physics and further science's understanding of dark matter.
"Bringing the LHC back on, from a complete shutdown to doing physics, is not a question of pushing a button and away you go," said Paul Collier, head of beams at CERN, according to the Business Standard.
It will take about eight weeks for all the systems to be online. The beams will be fine tuned and cleaned and the LHC's acceleration system will be turned on.
LHC is starting slowly as CERN notes how the collider is functioning, but eventually, the LHC will smash one billion pairs of protons per second.
