Indeedy. We're all awaiting it - which is why I'm up waiting for data to look at, and not tucked up in bed.

Yet page 1 still shows beam on at 1.22e+10 :?

don't you think this "Ramp" in the schedule is quite interesting? :)

Ramp until now was used to reach higher energy (1.18 TeV for instance ^^).

I think I trust the Status Op page more on this. I've seen it cut out before if data is lost but not drop so I'm guessing the drop is accurate.

From LHCb log book :
Beam 1 with 4 bunches was kept for 45 minutes and then dumped. LHC page 1 is stuck again (LHC is working on
fixing it).
This makes it clear now.

I think it's an error in the display system (as opposed to an error in the LHC workings)
