..and runs to December 28, then the labs close for Xmas and New Years, with recommissioning the beams to start in May, 2017. They've done a lot of testing this year but this month is the real deal which should be interesting to see if the proton to lead collisions will run without any glitches. Pray for no birds, breadcrumbs, rats, or giants to appear on the scene- :D The schedules are at the bottom of the link above.
Here's an interesting description of elemental lead and it's byproducts. I gather from this article that smashing protons into elemental lead (p to Pb) will create more than a few radioactive isotopes. Let's hope the experiment this month doesn't get TOO 'STRANGE'- ;)
http://www.chemistryexplained.com/elements/L-P/Lead.html
This is a description of these lead collisions, including Strange particles, Quarks, Gluons, and Plasma oh, my! What could possibly go wrong, err, nuclear? Let's hope they keep the bundles small and energies low but I don't think you can smash one of the heaviest elements in the carbon family, i.e., lead, without high energies, in a very very cold environment.
'Strangeness production in p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE at LHC
Domenico Colella (for the ALICE Collaboration)
(Submitted on 22 Sep 2016)
The main goal of the ALICE experiment is to study the properties of the hot and dense medium created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The measurement of the (multi-)strange particles is an important tool to understand particle production mechanisms and the dynamics of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). We report on the production of K0S, Λ(Λ¯¯¯¯), Ξ−(Ξ¯¯¯¯+) and Ω−(Ω¯¯¯¯+) in proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions at sNN−−−√ = 5.02 TeV and lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions at sNN−−−√ = 2.76 TeV measured by ALICE at the LHC. The comparison of the hyperon-to-pion ratios in the two colliding systems may provide insight into strangeness production mechanisms, while the comparison of the nuclear modification factors helps to determine the contribution of initial state effects and the suppression from strange quark energy loss in nuclear matter.

Friday December 10, 2016 ASTRONOMICALLY Saturn (=Chronus) is in
superior conjunction in constellation Ophiuchus.
(hint...it's not a NEW CONSTELLATION the planets miraculously began
traveling through just this past year)
As to Chronus that imo is what CERN has been all about opening up time
warp portals to the underworld...letting those monsters out, etc.
the BIG BANG ?
I'll say.

Interesting! Do you think we are going back to where we came from? Maybe with an accident we will... Why in heck would we want to bridge to a lower vibration world in time? Reminds me of old sci-fi matinees where explorers discover a primitive 'lost world' on earth. Maybe after the big bang the first nation were monsters in our solar system, from the radiation effects, lol?
What does Ophiuchus represent? Sounds like lesson time, or, a lesson in time to me and Saturn is a taskmaster- ;) Anthony Patch says that experiment that disturbs dark matter will be felt by everything and everyone in our solar system. Maybe he's being a tad histrionic?

Apologies Polydactyl. Constellation Ophiuchus has always been in the
zodiac ...just the majority of folks don't know that. I been posting in
regards on dreams and skywatchers. I been sharing this info since I
came to syzygy way back. It's just most are on a different "program"...I
can't change that...it's a personal decision to investigate for ones self. A
choice.
If you have a Farmers Almanac you will the abbrev. OPH for constellation
Ophiuchus being the moon moves through it every lunar month. I will
leave it up to you to do a search if you are interested I give up on trying
cause it is not being received.
The sun has been traveling through Ophiuchus from November 30 to
December 17 for thousands of years. It is just that Saturn and the Sun
rarely meet up and conjunct in the constellation Ophiuchus.
Saturn the sixth planet and constellation Ophiuchus seem to me to be a
major marker in "time". ...it is something I sense is the best way I can put
it.
Going backwards in time...history repeating seems to be popular in this
world. Someday it will not and come to a stop...another thing I sense.

correction:
If you have a Farmers Almanac you will SEE the abbrev. OPH for
constellation Ophiuchus being the moon moves through it every lunar
month.
p.s. I neglected to add my first post was sarcasm taking for granted you
were aware of constellation Ophiuchus which has been in the zodiac
since antiquity. Astronomers and navigators are aware of this and have
been over the ages.

Saturns-day the 10th not friday the 10th...which is even more

This article says the last lap was on December 5 which is not what the schedule says at all. They are extending the technical stop time for a couple months to repair and thoroughly check the accelerator. The proton to lead collisions were happening most of this last year without a hitch.
I went to check the dashboard tonight and found the server missing so likely they are collecting and evaluating data or have done so already and are shut down? Maybe their network is out for some maintenance tonight, not sure.
Well rats, that's the last time I take their schedule to be the real deal- :D Live and learn. I was looking forward to a finale. The last images I saw of the collisions were probably 'it'.
'It's the particles’ last lap of the ring. On 5 December 2016, protons and lead ions circulated in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for the last time. At exactly 6.02am, the experiments recorded their last collisions (also known as 'events').
'When the machines are turned off, the LHC operators take stock, and the resulting figures are astonishing.
The number of collisions recorded by ATLAS and CMS during the proton run from April to the end of October was 60% higher than anticipated. Overall, all of the LHC experiments observed more than 6.5 million billion (6.5 x 1015) collisions, at an energy of 13 TeV. That equates to more data than had been collected in the previous three runs combined.'
