about 30pb which equals abot 2 trillion collisions.

you can check the atlas website link and it gives you the total collisions atlas has recorded.

This is a good summary of what has been going on so far at the LHC and the current plan for the weeks ahead. It also give a nod to LHC protal and Pcatom!

Does any one know why they are going to stop the intensity increase to run at 1.3Tev for a few weeks?

Thanks pcatom that clears things up nicely for me

I noticed that the squeez to 1.5 meters isonly in Atlas and CMS i know Alice is useing differnt settings but why is the squeez in Lhcb only 3 meters? have they not gotten to it yet, or is 3m its maximum value?

great post phill i have been looking for a summary like that for a while now. You get

Any one know if they are running at 50ns or 75ns, i couldnt find any mention of that.

nice find i had been wondering about that for a while

Any one know where i can find any information on what they are doing durring the shutdown? thanks

today is the last day of the phyics runs this year. it has been very exciting and alot has been acomplished. congragulations to the LHC team, for such a wonderfull job, and i look forward to next year!

any one find any information about the seminar held on dec 2?

why dont they need as high luminosity for ion collisions as they do for proton collisisons? aslo what is considered a good luminosity for ion colliosons?

i wasnt expecting anything untill next year this is excting news while on the subject of exciting, it might be worth mentioning that they are going to push for 400 bunches tonight! good luck guys i hope all goes well

the 1-1-1 stands for number of colliding bunches. when they run later in the week for physics you should see numbers near 300. also they corespond to the different experaments but i am not sure in what order. for example 150-5-300 could mean 150 colliding bunches in atlas 5 for alice abd 300 for cms...

they are going to try and brake into the 1e10 32-1 luminosity range this week. this was the ultimate goal they set out for this year, and since they still have the rest of october left for physics there is a good chance they will have a higher luminosty than that!
