First full turn of 2017

mfb, why do you feed the troll? It's a lost cause.

Since I can see the draft of the LHCb public page, I can confirm that the result in the two unblinded q^2 bins will be shown in this seminar.

I'm fairly sure the error bars have gotten bigger since last I saw them, but that's what internal reviews are for...

Hmm, the paper is still in circulation. The first comment deadline is Friday. I'm surprised this seminar is scheduled so soon after that. Obviously I won't spoil it, but there's a practice talk on Thursday so I'll know then if the results are actually on the slides or not.

This thread should be in viewforum.php?f=19

Quoting the relevant parts of today's morning meeting slides (which is most of it...) Facts: Two quenches while ramping down RB.A12 from 6 kA with -10 A/s • 10 June 2016 @ 547 A • 3 Aug 2016 @ 295 A The observations could be explained with a model in which an inter-turn short is included. • The shor...

Hi everyone! I hope you don't see this as self-promotion. I think most people here would be interested in this. Since the beginning of May, I have been writing down short summaries of each week at the LHC and posting them on the /r/LHC subreddit. They can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lhc/...

Hi, there a few relevant boards on the popular link-sharing site reddit.com which might be of interest to LHC Portal users https://www.reddit.com/r/LHC/ For news about the LHC — including weekly summaries of the LHC operations. Discussions and questions are welcome! https://www.reddit.com/r/CERN/ Fo...

We had (non-accidental) collisions today at 450 GeV

Shame we at LHCb couldn't complete the SMOG test (SPS is down, have to wait until tomorrow) but we got some time-alignment data, which is nice.

"Lay" is something you do to an object, "lie" is something a subject does to itself. You can lay down a carpet and lie down on it afterwards.

Some unfortunate news from the LHC morning meetings today and yesterday (available here https://indico.cern.ch/event/385865/). There is an "Unidentified Lying Object" (ULO) of ~4 mm height and ~14 mm width sitting somewhere in one of the beam pipes. This could be large enough a problem to require an...

Moritz from LHCb died in a climbing accident last week as well.

I think this page is more useful than the HCC powering test meetings
