First collisions of protons at the world's largest science experiment are expected to start the first or second week of June, according to a senior research scientist with CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Geneva. See http://bit.ly/DIS_2015_SMU

"It will be about another six weeks to commission the machine, and many things can still happen on the way," said physicist Albert De Roeck, a staff member at CERN and a leading scientist on CMS, one of the Large Hadron Collider's key experiments. De Roeck spoke to the worlds physicists at the XXIII International Workshop on Deep-Inelastic Scattering, Southern Methodist University, Dallas.
