LHC firing test beams + live webcast.

http://webcast.cern.ch/lhcfirstphysics/

Five webcasts will be available here on 30 March, starting from 8:30am (Central European Summer Time - CEST). The main webcast will include live footage from the control rooms for the LHC accelerator and all four LHC experiments and coverage of the press conference after the first collisions are announced. Webcasts will also be available from the control rooms of the four LHC experiments: ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. The webcasts will be primarily in English.

A tentative schedule is available, subject to change.

The main webcast will be rebroadcast within CERN in the Main auditorium, the BE auditorium in Prevessin and the Kjell Johnsen auditorium .

Please refresh this page at the start time of the event.

The web cast will be up at 11:30 PM PST (2:30 AM EST) and the first attempt will start at 12:00 AM PST (3:00 AM EST).

Here's also the status of the beams of the LHC: http://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/op-webtoo...p?usr=LHC1

I'm excited
I don't really understand all these science talk, but I love particle physics.

The test is about to start right? :o

Yeah

Aw they just said they wouldn't be doing any colliding for about 3 hours because of some cryogenic problem.


I guess I'll sleep and wakeup and see what happened.

[color="#cc8899"]So we can watch as a miniature black hole is created that destroys our planet? YAY!

Jk, cool stuff.[/COLOR]

Okay, some collisions have happened already. Just waiting on the CMS-images to come up, so we can see stuff.

(Btw, the result of this won't be finished today, nor tomorrow. Prolly in some years)

First High-Res image of a 7 TeV collision:

 Spoiler

I don't understand that image at all.

They don't tell us much about their experiment on their page. =[

I don't understand that image at all.

From the looks of it, the yellow lines are large particles paths while dispersing, and the little dots are energy flows. Just a guess mind ya.
