Life Imitating Reality
– I was home sick today, probably from the stress of getting ready for "M-Day" (aka Media Day), more likely though I finally succumbed to the cold that had been spreading through the Control Room. As it so happened, my laptop had been in the shop because it experience an "incident" (actually I just dropped it) last Monday (the week before Media Day), and I just picked it up yesterday.Read more →
Increasing collision rate
– Many collisions will be needed to unveil the secrets eventually hidden at the 7 TeV energy regime.Read more →
Let The Physics Begin!
– After decades of planning. After years of delays and immeasureable amounts of patience and hard work. The physics operations of the LHC has begun!Read more →
First 7 Tev collisions have been recorded in ATLAS
– After ramping of the beams to 3.5 TeV and tuning, final checks, and some emotions due to an unforeseen beam dump, the 7 TeV collisions finally appeared on the on-line monitors of the ATLAS Control Room.Read more →
Expecting beam in 30 minutes!
– During this morning LHC has been working to give us the beam conditions for collisions.Read more →
How will it happen?
– So how will this whole "First 7 TeV Collisions" event happen? Well, here is my (somewhat naive) understanding of what will happen.Read more →
Approaching the End...and a New Beginning
– This Tuesday, if all goes according to plan, will mark the end of a very long journey for many High Energy Physicists. The first 7 TeV Collisions will signal the end of the the commissioning period of the LHC and its experiments.Read more →
Big step forward in LHC operation last night
– Last night a new very important milestone has been reached by the LHC: two counter-circulating proton beams have been accelerated for the first time to 3.5 TeV, the energy that they should routinely reach in the 2010-2011 running period.Read more →
3 Firsts for ATLAS in 2010
– It has been a BUSY weekend! The LHC has been working around the clock get the machine commissioned, and ATLAS has been enjoying the many Firsts that have resulted.Read more →
ATLAS celebrating the International Women's day!
– Today ATLAS celebrates the role of women in physics its own way. ATLAS has encouraged its staff and users to place as many women as possible on shift in the control room and to serve as guides for official visits.Read more →
