So the LHC is finally going live. The Boston Globe has some really gorgeous pictures of the whole project (found by the way of slashdot). While I worked at CERN, I was really lucky to be able to go down into the Atlas chamber during the assembly of the detector, this is really a impressive installation. While my contribution to this gigantic project is slim to say the least, my name is still on the DAQ back-end hall of fame.
Il me semble que tu es obtimiste un peu le secteur… eu injection test est prevu le 9 aout ce qui laisse encore quelques temps avant le fonctionnement reel de la machine et le debut de la physique.
