[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 7141847, member: 11681"] This site has some great stuff on this project. [url]http://www.lhc.ac.uk/[/url] [url]http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1120625/[/url] The 10th September 2008 is LHC start up date . Everything is now ready for the first injection of proton beams into the LHC on the 10th September 2008. This major milestone in the LHC project will be covered live by international broadcasters. UK media organisations will be at CERN and at a simultaneous media event in London. CERN will webcast the startup (the link is on the CERN "first beam" page). BBC Radio 4 will devote a day of programming to the LHC, including covering first injection of beams live on the Today programme. See the BBC website for programming, background etc. In the weeks preceeding the start up, this web page and the CERN and STFC websites will carry information on the plans for coverage of the event. Press Release announcing start up date. Dr Tara Shears talks about some of the scientific questions that the LHC project will help us answer, on the [url]www.labreporter.com[/url] website. You can try your hand at running the LHC and interpreting collisions on our simulator at [url]www.particledetectives.net[/url]. Proton beams have already been injected into the first metres of the LHC, to test the injection process, but the first attempt to circulate beams all the way around the LHC will be on the official start up day. If everything proceeds according to plan the beam will circulate all the way around the 27 km long LHC. Over the following months the LHC scientists and engineers will commission the LHC, running beams at higher energy with the intention of beginning collisions, using relatively low energy (5TeV) beams, towards the end of 2008. The extensive preparations for the start of LHC experiments have included exhaustive safety assessments, including the potential risk of creating new particles, black holes etc. The latest risk assessment is available here.
