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 →
A titan awakes
– At approximately 2:40 am Central European Time, ATLAS saw particles from the LHC for the first time in 2010. As in previous LHC turn-on periods the first thing we see are beam splashes from the LHC beams as they slowly thread the beam through the LHC ring for the first time.Read more →
The calm before the storm
– The Control Room is quiet. The configurations are set. The trigger menu is uploaded. The shifters are ready. All that is left is for the LHC to deliver beam.Read more →
Gearing-up for the 2010 run!
– ATLAS has been taking cosmic rays data this month exercising new features of the data acquisition, including protocols to start and control the run.Read more →
First Integrated Run in 2010
– Today ATLAS has started the integrated runs. This has happened before, nevertheless this is the first time ATLAS subdetectors get together after the winter break, a lot of work has been done since then.Read more →
All Bunched Up!
– High Energy Physicists have been waiting for many years to see the LHC turn on. Now that it has been turned on, the network of physicists around the world have quickly been harnessed. It can be considered a phase transition in particle physics.Read more →
Just a taste
– At 21:32 pm on December 8th, the LHC did something that no other accelerator has ever done before.Read more →
