"The room erupted in applause, it felt like a football match!" Lyn Evans, former LHC Project Leader, describes what it was like to be in the room when the Large Hadron Collider was switched on in 2008 ⚽️ Read the article for his full recollection 🔽 #CERN70 #UKatCERN

Switching on the Large Hadron Collider #CERN70 – Part 18 #ThrowbackThursday to the early 1980s, the beginning of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). CERN's major accelerator (at that time), the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP), was still in its study phase. But scientists were already considering using its 27km tunnel for a proton collider. On 10 September 2008, the LHC started up in front of the world’s cameras. The #LHC research programme officially began on 30 March 2010. Since then, the machine has gained in energy and luminosity, enabling many crucial advances in our understanding of our #Universe. Here we see: 1️⃣ Some of the first magnets installed in the LHC tunnel (2005). 2️⃣ Left to right: Robert Aymar, Luciano Maiani, Christopher Llewellyn Smith, Carlo Rubbia and Herwig Schopper – the five CERN Director-Generals who helped the LHC go from idea to reality (2008). 3️⃣ Lyn Evans (centre) stands next to CERN Director-General, Robert Aymar (right) as they watch the screens in the CERN Control Centre on 10 September 2008, the day of the first beam in the LHC (2008). 4️⃣ Focusing magnets for the LHC, manufactured by @Fermilab.
