According to the project chief, Lyn Evans of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), a number of tests cleared way for the beginning in September of an experiment which scientists hope would show how the universe was created after the Big Bang.

Evans stated that the tests in the underground Large Hadron Collider (LHC) machine went smoothly, without any problems.

"We look forward to a resounding success when we make our first attempt to send a beam all the way round the LHC," said Evans, the head of a multinational team of scientists that worked on the development of the LHC, which runs deep under the territories of France and Switzerland.
