Abstract

The large electron positron (LEP) collider at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory in Geneva, will have to close two weeks earlier than planned in 1999 and 2000 for financial reasons. The collider will then be shut down to make way for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which will become the world's leading high-energy accelerator. However, if LEP makes a major discovery in the next two years, the LHC will be delayed to allow LEP to run again in 2002. High-energy physicists hope that LEP could find the Higgs particle or evidence for supersymmetry Operation of LEP in 2001 will not be possible due to the construction of the LHC.
