According to a LHC director, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) must close at the end of 2011 for up to a year to address design issues.

The atom smasher will reach world record collision energies later this month at 7 trillion electron volts. But joints between the machine's magnets must be strengthened before higher-energy collisions can commence.
