Last magnet lowered into Large Hadron Collider
The final replacement magnet was lowered into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on April 30, 2009. The event is an important milestone in its repair because further work will be concentrated underground, primarily interconnecting the magnets so the LHC can be restarted in the last quarter of 2009.
