FYI, LHC / ATLAS schedule below. Also, US Atlas asked sites to take no scheduled down time from Friday Nov. 20 to Dec. 18, and only short down time after that. regards, Wei Yang | [log in to unmask] | 650-926-3338(O) ------ Forwarded Message From: Fabiola Gianotti <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:09:51 +0100 To: <[log in to unmask]> Subject: LHC schedule Dear Colleagues, As you know, the restart of LHC operation is imminent. The present plan foresees first circulating beams possibly already on Friday this week. ATLAS may therefore record first beam splashes as early as Friday. The situation is rapidly changing at the moment. We will keep you informed regularly about the latest news. Please note that direct information about the LHC status can be obtained from the following pages: http://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/op-webtools/vistar/vistars.php?usr=LHC1 http://lhc-commissioning.web.cern.ch/lhc-commissioning/news/LHC-latest-news. htm Furthermore, quasi-live event displays will be selected by a dedicated group of people and posted here: http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/public/EVTDISPLAY/events.html We are looking forward to an exciting and successful period of data taking (after such a long time ...) ! Kind regards Fabiola Gianotti on behalf of ATLAS Management and Run Coordination: Dave Charlton, Andy Lankford, Markus Nordberg, Marzio Nessi, Christophe Clement, Benedetto Gorini ------ End of Forwarded Message
