This morning, CERN announced the readiness of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid: http://press.web.cern.ch/press/PressReleases/Releases2009/PR11.09E.html. Attached, please find the final version of the U.S. version of this release, which is being jointly issued by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory. An online version of this release can be found at http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=982. Feel free to publicize your institution's role in this milestone. If you have any questions, you can contact me or Rhianna Wisniewski at Fermilab ([log in to unmask]).

The WLCG is the worldwide distributing computing system that has been set up to distribute and manage the data generated by the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Your institution contributes to the WLCG, and has also contributed to the milestone announced by this press release. **Please note that the information, and the attached draft release, are under embargo until issued - planned for this Wednesday, July 1** This press release announces that the WLCG has successfully passed its most comprehensive test to date, providing that the worldwide system - the first of its kind - is ready to handle the estimated 15 million gigabytes of data to be produced every year when the LHC starts running. This was the first time that all key elements of the data distribution and handling process were fully tested. CERN plans to issue its release announcing the milestone this Wednesday, July 1. If you would like to publicize your institution's involvement in this milestone, we ask that you wait until after CERN's release has been issued. Immediately after the CERN release is issued, the attached U.S. version of the release will be issued jointly by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory, and we will send you an email to let you know that CERN's release and the U.S. version have been issued. If you have any questions regarding the release, please contact either Rhianna Wisniewski at Fermilab ([log in to unmask]) or Kendra Snyder ([log in to unmask]) at Brookhaven Lab.
