As of this writing, no, it is not. Maybe spring of 2009. At least that's the word on the street. Protons were successfully circulated just recently, but there is a problem with a couple of the bending magnets which are used to accelerate and guide the beam around the curves in the Plumbing. A shutdown was scheduled for the winter anyway, and now they'll add the problem of "fixing" the magnets to their "to-do list" of over-winter activities. You'll find a link to the Wikipedia post on the LHC below.

∙ 14y agoThe first cycle of atoms was successfully completed on 10 September, 2008, but after a failure in the system, it is not scheduled to be functional again until October this year. The full experiment will take place when both sets of atoms are cycling the LHC, causing them to collide, possibly revealing the 'Higgs Bosen'.

Is the biggest magnet strongest or the smallest?
Well that would be the Earth it's self. But the biggest man made magnet is, The Large Hadron Collider in France/Sweden. It is 17 miles in circumference and is a particle collider.
What does LHC stand for?
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's highest energy particle accelerator.You will also see Long Haul Carrier (LHC) applied to communications systems and also to transportation (usually trucking).
Is a leaf an example of technology?
Not at all. A leaf is an example of life and God's creation. Something like the 'Hadron Collider' may be considered as an example of technology
What are the science appratus?
Science apparatus is all the bits of equipment used in an investigation. Could be a Bunsen burner, a test tube, a microscope, a reagent bottle, and up to the Hadron Collider in France/Switzerland.
What are recent happenings in science?
The most recent includes geological interests, the volcano in Iceland which created a huge cloud of ash and dust, which has closed Britain's airports since the explosion. Also a bit earlier was the LHC (large hadron collider) project, when scientists collided two particles into one another. And it was successful.
Is the Large Hadron Collider operating in secret?
No you can find updates on the Large Hadron Collider's (LHC) progress at the link below.
Is the Large Hadron Collider in process?
CERN's Large Hadron Collider has been repaired and is in full operation. (January 2012)
Can you use the Large Hadron Collider against the aliens?
No. As far as is known there are no aliens. The large hadron collider is a research tool, not a weapon.
What is the length of the Large Hadron Collider?
the hadron collider has a diameter of 3.8 metres and has a circumference of 17 miles (27 kilometres)
What time does the large jadron collider start?
One it's hadron collider.Two,it has already started.
How thick are the filaments in the large hadron collider?
0.006
Does the Large Hadron Collider accelerate antimatter?
yes
What is the full form of LHC?
Large Hadron Collider
What is the circumference of the Large Hadron Collider?
27 km
What is the name of the European Particle Accelerator?
the Large Hadron Collider
What is biggest machine in the world?
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) built by CERN near Geneva, Switzerland.
What is the particle in the hadron collider?
The Large Hadron Collider will work mainly with protons - hence the name (the proton is a kind of hadron). It will also do some experiments with other particles, for example, with certain atomic nuclei.
