Live events from stable running at 13 TeV :)
Bang!!! 13 TeV
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.
The LHC is back!
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 :)
Schuhbeck’s
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 :)
New office decoration
Last week some colleagues (and in some cases their family) helped building yet another one of the large Atlas Lego models. Thanks a lot!
For now it’s a nice decorative addition to my office interior :)
