High-energy LHC plans held up by UFOs and electron clouds

Interesting!
UFOs here stand for "Unidentified Falling Objects".

Lets hope it stays that way.

So there we have it, all we have to visulise into reality to stop the collider are

“The process is slightly slower than we would have hoped,” says Paul Collier, the LHC’s head of beams. Clouds of electrons created by ionised gas in the beam chamber and microscopic dust particles – playfully known as unidentified falling objects, or UFOs – are interrupting the beams and making it harder to get the LHC running consistently.

Not a big task ha :)

Yeah, because you'd think they would have thought of that already (ionized gas and microscopic particles), and allowed for it.
