Scientists with its upgraded potential are excited by the return of the Large Hadron collider.
The Large Hadron collider has led to over 3000 scientific papers since it began operations in 2010.
The Director-General of the European Organization for Nuclear Research said during a press conference on Tuesday that it was a magic moment.
Physicists can't get enough of the 'God particle' a decade after the discovery.
The Standard Model of particle physics may be surpassed by increased energy, more collisions and better data collection practices.
"We really hope that we're going to collect something like 10 times as much data as we collected before, so hopefully, we can see a whole range of new phenomena," said Chris Parkes, a spokesman for the experiment.
The "beauty quark" (or b quark) particle is the subject of a study. Parkes noted that it took 15 years for the upgraded detector to be put to use, and that it is an exciting time.

The upgraded LHC will be able to do precise measurements to understand what the Higgs is. "Now that we're using it as a tool to look for new physics, it's really exciting," he said.
The existence of a very special particle with very special properties will be helpful to studies of the universe. There are a lot of open questions related to the evolution of the universe.
The "dream scenario" would be the discovery of the elusive nature of dark matter, which can't be seen with conventional instruments. Predicting the expansion of the universe is dependent upon accurate dark matter measurement.
