Woooh … I just made it into the news on a local TV station (for three seconds about two minutes into the video, only in the background, though)! Here’s the video link. Great isn’t it …
Almost as cool as my interview with a local newspaper last week … though the quote is not actually mine, the experiment is called ATLAS and not Astra and Thomas is not my Professor and … well whatever!
Baaam! [Update]
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]
LHC Re-Start Press Conference [Update]
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]
The time has come!!!
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!
