LHC Work Delayed

The search for Higgs (amongst other work) at the CERN is delayed for approximately 2 months, due to a large helium leak following melting of a possible faulty electrical connection between two magnets.

The return to work is likely to be longer (than usual) for LHC, to ensure very cold conditions and to ensure safety after a full investigation.
