The latest results from the LHC experiments are presented in Vienna

Geneva/Vienna, 27 July 2015. The world particle-physics community has convened in Vienna for the 2015 European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP2015), where the latest results in the field are being presented and discussed. These include the first results from Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN , which are being presented for the very first time, less than two months after the experiments started to take data at the unprecedented energy of 13 TeV, following a two-year long shutdown. "It is much too early to expect any discovery, we will have to be patient," said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer. "Nevertheless, the LHC experiments have already recorded 100 times more data for the summer conferences this year than they had around the same time after the LHC started up at 7 TeV in 2010 . We can sense a fantastic pioneering spirit as the physicists are looking at completely new data at an unexplored energy. " As for any machine exploring a new energy frontier, operators at the LHC face many challenges on a daily basis.
