-- A wiring short took out a large section of the collider track. --

The reverse -- absence of a short. Not an open circuit, but one that had abnormally high resistance, leading to heat, leading to a helium leak, leading to loss of superconductivity, leading to even higher resistance and more heat ...

It's supposed to be firing up again in the next few weeks.

I stand corrected.
