Our next major release, SuperCollider version 3.5 is now out! It contains many new features and bugfixes - major highlights are new help system, a new cross-platform gui and a new multiprocessor-aware audio-synthesis server. SuperCollider is a programming language and environment for real-time audio synthesis and processing.

Just prior to collision, another type of magnet is used to "squeeze" the particles closer together to increase the chances of collisions. These include 1232 dipole magnets, 15 metres in length, which bend the beams, and 392 quadrupole magnets, each 5–7 metres long, which focus the beams. Thousands of magnets of different varieties and sizes are used to direct the beams around the accelerator. Replacing one of the LHC's dipole magnets (Image: Maximilien Brice/CERN) For this reason, much of the accelerator is connected to a distribution system of liquid helium, which cools the magnets, as well as to other supply services. This requires chilling the magnets to ‑271.3☌ – a temperature colder than outer space. The electromagnets are built from coils of special electric cable that operates in a superconducting state, efficiently conducting electricity without resistance or loss of energy. They are guided around the accelerator ring by a strong magnetic field maintained by superconducting electromagnets.
The beams travel in opposite directions in separate beam pipes – two tubes kept at ultrahigh vacuum. Inside the accelerator, two high-energy particle beams travel at close to the speed of light before they are made to collide. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator.
