Alice is in Physics mode!!! First time this year- things are moving very fast now...

Heads up! 2 beams at 4e9 for over an hour now!!! Finally things are starting to smooth out

"B1 circulation in bucket 1, B2 circulating in bucket 1001"

Just found it in the logs, very interesting glitch. Intensity hit 1.2e10! "At 17.28 the RF went off apparently because the OFF command was received but it is not understood why it was sent. Under investigation by the RF team. Since we didn.t realized. we tried to inject. and we didn.t see the beam w...

Oh, Ya- it's a roller coaster ride but they are keeping both beams up!!

Wow, just checked the charts and we actually had 2 beams up at once about an hour ago!!!

And at 3e9 intensity too!!!! It won't be long now

Dido!

Still Looking good for tomorrow! From Log; Thursday 25th February Following yesterday 50 magnet quench incident which reveal a feature in the Quench Protection logic, the main bend current has been limited to 2 kA until a full analysis has been performed and compensatory measures implemented. (The q...

More from eLog; 22:49> major problem in sector 78. heaters of more than 50 magnets were fired when opening the swithes to accelerate the current decay on RB.A78. following an abort of the ramp using an IDDLE command. in equip state..More info available in the MP3 logbook. As a consequence of the eve...

From Log; Wednesday 24th February 23:00: nQPS triggered a 50 magnet quench in sector 78 following non-standard sequence of events. Situation to fully understood before proceding - all commissioning of main dipoles on hold overnight. 18:00: Hope to finish off S78 and S81 this evening. Powering tests ...

Thankx for that pcatom, that really clears it up!

Funny when I tried a French to English translator I just got Picket like picket fence but I knew that was wrong.

Thankx gin,

I (and others in the chat) have noticed that over the last week one beam or the other always seems to fall. The first weeks of testing both beams always stayed the same, is there something in the setup that is causing this (expected) or are they fighting a problem?

Any Guru's in the know?

Thankx,

YA, I like that one too but the pages flash by to fast to enjoy. I finally figured out that you can single click on the green bar at the top to pause/play the sequence. Also I doc'd the individual links here; http://cmsonline.cern.ch/daqStatusSCX/aDAQmon/DAQstatusGre.jpg http://cmsonline.cern.ch/daq...

Yes, there is a lot of page1 problems all over the notebook, it has made the operators hyper quick to reboot which was noted today they should wait at least 2 minutes. That said I am sure they have a proxy server between us and the CCC which is what creates the 10 sec snapshots, it would be insane t...

Click on a tile and have a look around.

Wow!! These are incredible pictures, I think they deserve a link on the home page?

Thank you dh2va!

Glad to have you here and look forward to more information exchange!

Thank you for the clarification and a "Great Work" to the Whole LHB/Experiment Team!
