"18kV Drop at Point 1, 6 LHC Sectors Tripped".

Page 1 suggests 3 hours to fix, more info coming soon. Sounds like a superconductor problem of some sort

Tuesday 1st Evening: -- Comments: Just a lot of testing hardware, seemingly. -- Afternoon/evening: - MPS BLM tests, including collimator moves provoke magnet trips (orbit correctors) check phase space coverage of collimators Night: - Aperture/kick response Look ahead: Wednesday Morning: - TDI set up...

Got a JCB we can borrow? It's getting quite hard to dig further with just these spades

Hopefully we may be getting information on some of the other VISTARs - such as the SPS and LINAC screens.

It helps if I turn "case sensitive" off when searching - no wonder FF couldn't find "bran" on the acronyms sheet...

Page1 format has also changed: the beamTV images are not showing now and the whole mid-page area is different ( blank for now). I also noticed the "Page 1" and "LHC Operations" " Beam Current"(I) values were very different since yesterday. The "LHC Operations" I values seemed to match the Intensity...

I'll keep this topic updated with the Daily Schedules that can be found in LHCb's Logbook. Maybe mention the odd hiccup too if it affects schedules Tuesday 1st: -- Comments: Collisions planned this week (for Experiments to play around with?) at 450GeV per beam. Schedule is going as planned, they're ...

Thanks for the info, LHC_Insider - certainly given me a better understanding of some parts of the machine.

Currently the machine is set to 7.864 TeV - I don't know if the plan is to ramp a beam up to this energy today?

Status Op has changed today! First off the background graphs have been changed to logarithmic scales - which has lead to them making much more sense and being more readable. Also, the luminosity reading on the top graph and integrated luminosity reading have both been replaced with BRAN Count. I bel...

Latest Page 1 - thanks to employees of CERN for their input on this version.

These gluons can split to give a quark and an antiquark, which then recombine to give the original gluon again; while it is on its travels. Similar to Photons and Pair Production? Well, there's something I learnt today (along with the rest of your post, really!). Though surely you get some antiquar...

It also includes LHCb's VELO - but thanks for working out what "Roman Pots" meant!

Both detectors are liable to be damaged if used on anything but a stable beam.

Over the last week I've worked out quite reliably how to check on what the LHC is up to. This isn't a guide to deciphering displays - it's a guide to which ones to check to get an idea of what's happening right now without having to ask. Check out the growing help pages and "What do the displays mea...

Updated Page 1 down 2 posts

Status Op:

Possibly we could have a "What's This?" link somewhere on your frames around the pages - so on Page 1, it links to a page giving details for Page 1; on Op Status, it links to a page on that. Would be an idea to have a central page linking to all these help pages instead/as well. But we do need to tr...

You take yours off?! My god, there's no hope left now...
