And we're off! CERN declares start of 2016 LHC physics season

Weasels be damned, we're running again! And first thing on the list is to find out whether 'those bumps' are new subatomic particles, or just statistical noise

The superconducting magnets in a 27 km tunnel under Geneva and the Pays de Gex were switched on again in March, after which came some fine-tuning and preparatory studies, plus that incident with the pigeon pine marten. Now, the news we all wanted to hear from CERN Director for Accelerators and Technology, Fri(C)di(C)rick Bordry:

The LHC is running extremely well. We now have an ambitious goal for 2016, as we plan to around six times more data than in 2015.
