The LHC Surpasses the Tevatron in Energy...But What About Power?

From Discover Magazine | rsslist:

Today the LHC at CERN became the planet's highest-energy particle accelerator, surpassing the Tevatron by 20%. The LHC accelerated protons from the injection energy of 0.450 TeV (0.45 trillion electron volts) to 1.18 TeV; the Tevatron has collided protons and antiprotons with beam energies of 0.98 TeV . As early as Wednesday the LHC team plans to attempt the feat with beams circulating in both directions, and will then become the world's highest energy particle collider in the world.
