Last week I had the pleasure to get one minute of private air time on the George Lamb Show to talk about LEGO and the LHC.
Here’s the link to the podcast (itunes) of the show, which actually turned out to be a LHC special, also featuring ATLAS colleague Clara Nellist.
My part starts at about 01:01:30 (ten minutes to the end).
Earlier today the Large Hadron Collider, for the first time ever, reached collisions at 13 TeV centre-of-mass energy.
We’re not yet fully back in physics operation, but only about two weeks away (according to the current schedule).
It’s getting more and more exciting and more and more busy these days :)
Here’s a few images of the LHC configuration and events in ATLAS, from earlier today.
Today we got the first collisions after the shutdown. For now it’s only at injection energy (900 GeV in the centre-of-mass), but more is to be expected very soon :)
Find out more, also about the other experiments, in the CERN press release; and get the current status on my LHC sub-page :)
1 May and five great reasons to celebrate, so it was time for a nice dinner in town :)
It ended up being Schuhbeck’s restaurant at Platzl in the centre of Munich.
Quite a nice menu, certainly a great evening, but – maybe deserved – still miles away from out visit to Noma almost four years ago. Anyways, we had great time :)
