Seems like the re-start of the LHC will be celebrated with a little press conference in our new remote control room at DESY in Zeuthen next Tuesday … which I will join, of course ;)
Let’s see what’s going to happen …
[Update Mar 28th] CERN has set up a Live Webcast from 8h30 to 18h15 on Tuesday! [Update]
I just noticed that I didn’t post anything about this great movie I’ve seen recently. Hmm… just the cast is impressive and the movie is certainly worth seeing!
Kind a special, but definitely entertaining … go see it!
Today CERN officially announced March 30th 2010 as the date for first 7 TeV proton-proton collisions in the LHC! Bit sad though that I am sitting here writing my thesis … but time will come!
The CERN press release can be found here.
Time for another world record!
The machine is fully awake now and this night for the first time ever accelerated two circulating beams to 3.5 TeV each. CERN immediatly released a press release this noon to share this achievement … it’s certainly getting exciting now …
Steadily going back to business … today the LHC had the beams up to 1.18 TeV each, apparently with some collisions!
