Re: 2018 Operation

That's it. With the beam dump just now, we are done with Stable Beams for Run 2. Now we have some MDs overnight and Run 2 will be completely over at 6am.

Re: you know the RHIC

I believe the absolute maximum beam energy is 255 Z GeV where Z is charge of the ion (atomic number for fully ionised nuclei). "Full energy" is 100 GeV per nucleon, but bear in mind Z/A < 1/2 for almost all nuclides.

Re: 2018 Operation

For Run1+Run2

187 /fb for ATLAS
192 /fb for CMS
10 /fb for LHCb

The page shows a buggy number for ALICE unfortunately

Re: 2018 Operation

Level 3 evacuation alarm in all sectors due to high temperature during this fill. Fire brigade says no action required.

I guess you can't escape the heat 100 metres below the surface

Re: 2018 Operation

The high β* run dragged on a bit too long. LHCb is back to the nominal prediction line.

Re: 2018 Operation

Even this morning they were saying it would end today, but they put another fill in.

High β* runs are for elasitc/diffractive collisions. Stuff TOTEM and AFP/ALFA are interested in.
