[edit] PDF

PLEASE NOTE: the attached pdf seems to have a problem with it, at least on my Solaris machine, my pdf viewer complained that it had a "corrupted EOF" and was not able to open the doc. Thx for checking into this. March 16,2006

It worked fine on my Windows machine, but I don't know what you'r problem is, Snailwalker | talk 16:03, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

It works well with evince in Linux as well. -- Harp 13:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CERN

Why is this article in the category CERN? -- Harp 13:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

As a related question, this is distinct from the Super Large Hadron Collider, yes? Perhaps the differences could be explicitly noted in the article, along with some discussion of just how speculative this hypothetical machine is. I personally have never heard of it before; all the excitement I've seen in terms of hypothetical future colliders seems to be about the ILC. -David Schaich ^Talk/_Cont 23:40, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

SLHC, as the article notes, is an upgrade to the LHC. Very briefly, the SLHC is planned to have a much higher collision rate, but the same energy and mostly the same magnets. VLHC would be much larger, with a much higher energy. -- SCZenz (talk) 17:24, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

By the way, the sources turned up while I was asleep. Otherwise, I would certainly have retracted my "delete" in the AfD. I have no intention to see this article deleted now. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 13:00, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Wouldn't some other image be better? Perhaps a picture of the LEP ring, or the CERN logo? 70.55.85.177 (talk) 08:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

It's not a CERN project. Maybe one of the sources has a usable image...? -- SCZenz (talk) 13:19, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
