Other priorities include: upgrading the LHC, which shut down in February for two years to boost its
energies from 7 TeV to 14 TeV; plans to build an International Linear Collider in Japan, to collide
beams of electrons and positrons as a complement to the LHC's proton findings; and a major US project to exploit high - intensity

While observing a
beam of muon
neutrinos generated by one
of Fermilab's particle accelerators, the MiniBooNE researchers found that an unexpectedly high number
of the particles in the low -
energy range (below 475 million electron volts) had transformed into electron
neutrinos.
Astronomers now believe, however, that GRBs seems so powerful because most
of their
energy is being
beamed out
of bi-polar jets in a brief burst, unlike the later stage
of a supernova when
neutrinos are emitted from all around the exploding star.
