Sidelined CERN collider gets a new, formal sendoff GENEVA - The world's largest scientific machine may have malfunctioned soon after its spectacular start and still be out of action. But that didn't stop dignitaries, donors and diplomats from inaugurating the broken atom smasher Tuesday with pomp and pageantry.   Nations:India Russia Japan Canada   Activities:Large Hadron Collider   Source:(AP)   2008-10-21 1 bad connection caused atom smasher shutdown GENEVA - A bad electrical connection likely caused the malfunction that sidelined the world's largest atom smasher days after it was launched with great fanfare, a senior scientist said Monday.   Nations:Switzerland   Activities:Large Hadron Collider   Source:(AP)   2008-10-06 CERN starts up computing grid to crunch atom-smasher data GENEVA (AFP) - The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) on Friday unveiled a massive computing grid aimed at analysing millions of gigabytes of data set to be generated by the world's largest atom-smasher.   Activities:Large Hadron Collider   Source:(AFP)   2008-10-03 Molecular gastronomy buffet for atom-smasher scientists GENEVA (AFP) - Leading European physicists will feast on a molecular gastronomy buffet at the inauguration of the multi-billion dollar machine designed to shed light on the "Big Bang," a statement said Thursday.   Activities:Large Hadron Collider   Source:(AFP)   2008-10-02 CERN rivals see melting magnets as par for course GENEVA - The daring success of the world's largest atom smasher on its opening day was more surprising to many scientists than the troubles it subsequently developed.   Nations:U.S. Germany   Activities:Large Hadron Collider   Source:(AP)   2008-09-28 Headlines Sidelined CERN collider gets a new, formal sendoff 2008-10-21 1 bad connection caused atom smasher shutdown 2008-10-06 CERN starts up computing grid to crunch atom-smasher data 2008-10-03 Molecular gastronomy buffet for atom-smasher scientists 2008-10-02 CERN rivals see melting magnets as par for course 2008-09-28 Winter, repairs stall atom smasher until spring 2008-09-23 Atom-smasher investigation could give findings this week 2008-09-23 Small accidents mean big trouble for supercollider 2008-09-22 Scientists probing what happened before big bang 2008-09-22 CERN: Damage to new collider forces 2-month halt 2008-09-20 Hackers 'find black hole in atom smasher computers' 2008-09-14 Massive particle collider passes first key tests 2008-09-10 Flawless start for world's mightiest particle collider 2008-09-10 Scientists beaming after test of big atom smasher 2008-09-10 CERN fires up new atom smasher to near Big Bang 2008-09-07 CERN to start up super-accelerator on September 10 2008-08-07 Most-viewed CERN starts up computing grid to crunch atom-smasher data 2008-10-03 1 bad connection caused atom smasher shutdown 2008-10-06 Molecular gastronomy buffet for atom-smasher scientists 2008-10-02 CERN fires up new atom smasher to near Big Bang 2008-09-07 Scientists probing what happened before big bang 2008-09-22 Winter, repairs stall atom smasher until spring 2008-09-23 CERN rivals see melting magnets as par for course 2008-09-28 Scientists beaming after test of big atom smasher 2008-09-10 Small accidents mean big trouble for supercollider 2008-09-22 Massive particle collider passes first key tests 2008-09-10 CERN: Damage to new collider forces 2-month halt 2008-09-20 Hackers 'find black hole in atom smasher computers' 2008-09-14 Flawless start for world's mightiest particle collider 2008-09-10 CERN to start up super-accelerator on September 10 2008-08-07 Atom-smasher investigation could give findings this week 2008-09-23
