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.

3.5 TeV World Record
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 …
Beams at 1.18 TeV
Steadily going back to business … today the LHC had the beams up to 1.18 TeV each, apparently with some collisions!
The machine is back …
… since yesterday! The LHC has first circulating beams in both directions again …
Back in business
I almost forgot … after about two months of hibernation the ATLAS Detector is back in business waiting for the LHC to come up, meanwhile entertained with cosmics data taking. The big ring will probably start up somewhat next week …
