"It is the job of our computers to retain details of the interesting collisions – and only the interesting ones," says Pierluigi Campana, spokesman for the LHCb, one of the collider's main experiments.

CERN said that later last Friday the first beam of protons followed the same route — and then on Saturday protons were sent through the LHCb detector.

Later, beams crossed at points 2 and 8, where the ALICE (heavy ion detector) and the LHCb (looking for heavy particles containing a bottom quark) are positioned.
-
The four detectors are Alice, Atlas, CMS and LHCb, which are set to look for specific physics, and these record a vast amount of data per p on p-bar beam.

For those physicists, the latest data from the LHCb detector - which is particularly sensitive to matter-antimatter anomalies in the decay of B-mesons - might represent a bit of a letdown.

A spokesperson for the LHCb experiment, Tara Shears of Liverpool University, told the BBC that her team's results "put supersymmetry on the spot."
-
Earlier results from the Tevatron had suggested a few types of B meson decays might hint at a difference from the Standard Model, but the LHCb data, which already has a greater statistical certainty, indicates that the difference from the Standard Model is insignificant.

According to Dr Tara Shears of Liverpool Liverpool University, a spokesman for the LHCb experiment: "It does rather put supersymmetry on the spot".
