From: Charlie on 23 Mar 2010 08:38 I don't think Ivan has previously posted an actual date, but the 3.5TeV fun is scheduled to start in earnest on March 30th. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8582778.stm

They'd promised at least seven days' notice. I _think_ they are going to start at 0900 CERN time so it'll be an early start next Tuesday. Keep an eye out for BBC coverage, too. I'm going to try to set up a few displays somewhere at Brunel, but don't have anywhere just yet. I'll post some URLs to watch a bit later if anyone wants -- I just finished porting our software to a new release today so the pressure's off me for a bit. It'll be interesting to see how long before they get collisions, it was quite quick with the original 450 GeV beams, but apparently LEP took three days before they recorded collisions. Given how smoothly they are operating 3.5 TeV beams at the moment[1] I don't think it will be long before they nudge them into interaction.

Ah, the magnets just hit 450 GeV, which is injection energy, so something may happen soon. -- Ivan Reid, School of Engineering & Design, _____________ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

The link on the above page http://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/op-webtools/vistar/vistars.php?usr=LHC1 updates more often than the one in the cmstv frame. -- Ivan Reid, School of Engineering & Design, _____________ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.
