Re: Up & Running

Sort of like giving a race car driver a pint of gas so he can go for a quarter the way around the oval.

At least nothing blew out, melted, shorted, or otherwise fell off.

Thanks for the news,

Ravening clouds shall not long be victorious, They shall not long possess the sky, they devour the stars only in apparition, Jupiter shall emerge, be patient, watch again another night, the Pleiades shall emerge, They are immortal, all those stars both silvery and golden shall shine out again, The great stars and the little ones shall shine out again, they endure, The vast immortal suns and the long-enduring pensive moons shall again shine. (Walt Whitman)

Re: Up & Running

According to Physics Today (hardcopy) They are throttling back to 3.5 TeV for the time being..Still above the 2TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron...so maybe we will hear confirmation of the Higgs particle soon.

If not the next step after they have the magnets trained and their conductivity confirmed up to spec is to go back to 7 TeV with ultimate plans for 14 TeV. If no Higgs by then?......
