Re: Current Events Discussion
Sounds like bunch trains are key to moving forward now http://cdsweb.cern.ch/journal/CERNBulle ... es/1285857
They're talking of a luminosity in crease of 10-100 times over the next few months !
Also the 48 bunch run broke the world record for stored energy in an accelerator.

Re: Current Events Discussion
Lots of good info on the progress at the LHC at viXra Log blog http://blog.vixra.org/
Re: Current Events Discussion
Here we go, 4.9e12 and ramping- should be a big one!
Re: Current Events Discussion
Next injection to be 1000ns_50b_35_14_35, so closer trains, slightly more bunches, but slightly less collisions
Re: Current Events Discussion
Check out comments in LHC page 1: "getting ready to ramp this baby". Reminds me of an Onion spoof about the Top Gun of airline pilots.
Re: Current Events Discussion
Two minutes after my above post, the comments were updated. Coincidence?
Re: Current Events Discussion
They got 10.115/μb/s in CMS. That is one tenth of the way to their base target luminosity for this year. I think that is what they were getting excited about
Re: Current Events Discussion
atlas has recorded just over 200 billion collsions! i know they need alot more than that for new physics but that has to be good for something.

Re: Current Events Discussion
nice work

Re: Current Events Discussion
Looks like this last week's operation has doubled the amount of luminosity delviered by the LHC in 2010

Re: Current Events Discussion
Technical stop ending, test ramp starting soon...
Get use these 96 bunches now!

Re: Current Events Discussion
Looks like the first step is running 48 bunches in 4x12 bunch trains. An important step forwards.

Re: Current Events Discussion
Whew , it's awful quiet in here lately, hopefully they go to the next level soon
