Was the Large Hadron Collider Successful?

The first beam was circulated through the collider on the morning of 10 September 2008. CERN successfully fired the protons around the tunnel in stages, three kilometres at a time. The particles were fired in a clockwise direction into the accelerator and successfully steered around it at 10:28 local time.

The LHC has failed to reveal, thus far, anything beyond the known particles of the Standard Model. ... All you'd need is a superpartner particle for every one of the Standard Model particles that exists. The Standard Model particles and their supersymmetric counterparts.

What has the Large Hadron Collider accomplished?

The hadron collider has now discovered 59 new hadrons. These include the tetraquarks most recently discovered, but also new mesons and baryons. All these new particles contain heavy quarks such as “charm” and “bottom”. These hadrons are interesting to study.
