LHC to start trials in March

paint the LHC in terms of competition between America and Europe which is certainly healthy - although misleading because the U.S. contributions of all kinds to the LHC are comparable to the European ones. The physicists who spoke to the journalists estimated the time needed to find the Higgs to be as short as 3 months after the moment when the LHC is fully operational. They dedicate some special time to Peter Higgs who is from Edinburgh.
