Time has come! We finally saw the first events at 7 TeV centre of mass energy … more will come!
Here’s an event display of one of the first events recorded in ATLAS today.
[Update Mar 30th]Euphoria is slowly settling now, after the first successful LHC fill with collisions at 7 TeV has ended. The press has left Zeuthen already a while ago and the inauguration of our little control room ended with trays of empty champagne bottles … seems like a pretty successful day![Update]
9 a.m. and I just returned from an amazing F-Com session with Mr. Laurent Garnier. After it was first scheduled at Berghain, the tickets were sold for WMF (which was closed recently), it finally took place at Watergate. At 12 a.m. on a Thursday!? Anyway, it was certainly worth it … man my legs hurt!
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!
