After finding the Higgs boson, the LHC has had a refit to enable it to operate at even greater extremes – and to solve more questions about the beginnings of the universe.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started delivering physics data on the 3 June 2015 for the first time in 27 months. After an almost two year shutdown and several months re-commissioning, the LHC was now providing collisions to all of its experiments at the unprecedented energy of 13 TeV, almost double the collision energy of its first run. This marked the start of season 2 at the LHC, opening the way to new discoveries. The LHC would now run round the clock for the next three years.
