Oops ~ my bad. It's even better than I thought then, dump is producing two times better collisions than experiments had in december.Danny252 wrote:Each beam is 3.5 TeV, so total collision would be 7 TeV (with half being 3.5, not 1.75) - full power is 7 TeV and 14 TeV respectively.
3.5 TeV accelleration ! WORLD RECORD !

Im getting confused now.
Have the beams collided somewhere in the machine or not?
Some people say they have some say they have not.

No collisions yet!!!!! 
Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted with large ones either by Albert Einstein.

Read about it on El Reg and couldn't wait to get home to see it for myself.
(Another reason for not being able to wait is that's raining cats and dogs and since I go to work on a bike I am soaking wet right now).
Congrats to CERN for this achievement! Well done!! Now on to the next milestone!

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.

Beams did not collide with each other yet. There were no beam collisions in any of the experiments.Wallmott wrote:Im getting confused now.

But they were accelerated to 3.5 TeV and then dumped, so all of the protons collided with Carbon atoms in the dump facility. The only thing is, nobody was watching what the collision results were there.
