Sure looks like they did it - 10 hours and countingStill looking for a sustained run with stable beams though

Re: Current Events Discussion
From the live schedule:
Fri 08:00 Prepare for 7 on 7 physics
Fri 16:00 Holland v Brazil
looks like they had a good few hours at 7 on 7 last night.

Re: Current Events Discussion
But this time they lost the beams due to a dump caused by a lightening strike
Got to be a good test of the machine protection system, at least

Re: basic accelerator theory from a great discussion in chat
Thanks for the great information - really makes it easier to understand what is going on! Going to the "Introduction to accelerator physics" link given above I stumbled upon "Accelerators for pedestrians" (http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1017689/files/ab-note-2007-014.pdf) which seems to be an amalgama...

Re: What to ask the LHC team about its operations or displays
That's great for the status of the machine but won't show any collision info, I think. What I was hoping for was an overview showing how the various detectors were doing at logging collisions.Try: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=84
Obviously only the barest overview is possible ...

Re: What does ... mean?
beam cleaning basically scrapes the particles of the beam that are spread outside of the core beam away, so that the beam cross-section stays constant Well, I guessed it was something along those lines - though thanks for the precise description - but what I was really trying to find out was the me...

Re: What to ask the LHC team about its operations or displays
Hi Xymox, Can I start with a big "Thanks" to you personally, its a great job you are doing & much appreciated. I can think of a number of bits of information that we could use: 1. A run down on the different page 1 displays as the LHC shifts from mode to mode and what information is contained therei...

Thank you so much
I do hope CERN sees this as a positive thing, I would have thought it's great publicity.

Re: *** Breaking news ***
Thanks also from me for the info, LHC_Insider - its really useful & interesting to hear from someone who understands such a complex system. It sounds like you are all having a great time getting the machine up to speed!

Re: Portal links changes
Definitely not more blinking lights ... Your comment about lots of users from CERN made me think - is there any chance that someone from CERN could post a short guide to the "page 1" and "Status op" displays? Some of the items are fairly obvious but others are completely opaque - it would really be ...
