actual ATLAS jargon: "stopless recovery" I can never tell if these terms are coined with a wink or not.

and btw, the LHC was just about to deliver 900 GeV collisions last year, when *someone* just *had* do one more magnet ramp test. imagine...

et voila ATLAS shows up to the collision party, a little later than the others: Run 140541, Event 171897

But people should realize that these LHC collisions are the same energy that CERN achieved in 1985, and less than half that of Fermilab

First collisions at the LHC, tho only two expts going public: ALICE () and CMS (). More to come.

And it begins: first 2009 beam events from ATLAS (450 GeV protons on collimator...)

Who was teaching physics at Bronx Science from the mid-40's to the mid-60's? 7 Nobel prizes: not bad (h/t MJT)

Jeanne-Claude, with the Gates-colored hair, RIP. I'll miss seeing her at art things around town.

the "collisions on monday" rumor was, probably unsurprisingly to many, just a rumor. still, i want to believe.

of course "my" detector was fixed by an expert within minutes, but they won't let us go back in just yet. c'est la vie - long night ahead.

and zoinks it's worse than i expected: two detectors, one of them on my watch, out for the night due to glitchy readout systems

i'm not expecting any sweet sounds (or beam) on my upcoming night shift.
