Dear All,
Sorry - I will not be able to attend today and regret not being able to
participate in discussion of Stan's good papers - as painful as that is.
The LHC is suppose to start around 22-Feb and will take, according to the
commissioning plan, about 1.5 to 2 months to ramp up to 7 TeV in COM for
physics to integrate 1 fb-1 by end of 2011. During 2012 the machine will
be fixed (splices, clamping, collimators, etc.) for 14 TeV - a really
long haul. The LHC at 7 TeV and 1 fb-1 will be a good 'standard model'
machine - and competetive with the Tevatron - and perhaps lucky if there
is a high mass something ...
ATLAS is in fair shape for beam - CSC ROD FW/SW progressing but not yet in
combined partition - Huffer here at CERN.
Not much snow - days getting longer and brighter.
Again, my regrets.
