I can't help it, but it looks like LHC guys achieved rock stable beams - there is no visible decrease in intensity for over hour and half - even through ramp!
Good job!

Well Done guys
Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted with large ones either by Albert Einstein.
Re: Rock stable beams
Ah, but looks can be deceiving … on “Page 1” the “Stable Beam” flags always remained red and set to “false.” This means that they never met the standard for “LHC Stable Beams.”
Re: Rock stable beams
Stable Beams is a manually set flag (or at least I remember it being as such), indicating to the experiments that the beam is, more or less, in "Physics" mode, and that they won't be playing with it or dumping it regularly. This isn't the case so farLarryS wrote:Ah, but looks can be deceiving … on “Page 1” the “Stable Beam” flags always remained red and set to “false.” This means that they never met the standard for “LHC Stable Beams.”
