Watch LHC Operation in realtime

Physics news on Phys.org
Currently on fill 1325 running an injection probe at 3 Tev.
BTW: It's great to get realtime status. No more searching the news for snippets of LHC progress. Just watch it happen. Anyone else find this helpful?
 
I don't want to damper the enthusiasm here, but you DO know that this is simply the accelerator operations, ya? Practically ALL of the physics involved in the LHC are done at the various detectors (ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, etc.), not at the accelerator ops.

Zz.
 
Of course! These are machine ops. But heck, I remember sitting in control rooms many a night totally dependent on the machine team for decent beam and a decent physics run. I have a lot of respect for these guys. Accelerator physics is not particle physics for sure, but it's still dang complex.
 
Right now the energy is at 7864 GeV http://lhc.web.cern.ch/lhc/, can you tell me if I'm misreading this or this is for 2 beams not one.
It just changed but if you care to answer please go ahead.

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
