Two months after an electrical fault put CERN’s brand new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) out of action, the first damaged sections of the machine are making their way out of the tunnel for repair. In the past week or so, seven of the LHC’s magnets (mostly 15m-long, 35 tonne “dipoles”) have been transported approximately 6 km through the 27 km LHC tunnel from the scene of the incident to a shaft on the main CERN site.
