Re: SUPER COLLIDER COUNTDOWN
Press release about CERN's test today.
http://press.web.cern.ch/press/Press.../PR08.08E.html
Starting up a major new particle accelerator takes much more than flipping a switch. Thousands of individual elements have to work in harmony, timings have to be synchronized to under a billionth of a second, and beams finer than a human hair have to be brought into head-on collision. Today?s success puts a tick next to the first of those steps, and over the next few weeks, as the LHC?s operators gain experience and confidence with the new machine, the machine?s acceleration systems will be brought into play, and the beams will be brought into collision to allow the research programme to begin. |

Re: SUPER COLLIDER COUNTDOWN
Hackers break into Large Hadron Collider computer
Posted by Elinor Mills
Hackers broke into a computer system at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, targeting a system that was "one step away" from a control computer, but otherwise appear to have done no major damage, according to a report on Friday in the British newspaper The Telegraph.
The system that was breached monitors the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment, which will be analyzing data during subatomic particle collisions in the particle accelerator located along the French-Swiss border.
Experiments, which began on Wednesday, are designed to help scientists explore particle physics theories.
During the attack on Tuesday and Wednesday, hackers left behind half a dozen files, damaged one CERN file, and displayed a Web page with the headline "GST: Greek Security Team," signing off: "We are 2600--don't mess with us," (sic) CERN scientists told the newspaper.
As a result of the attack, the Web site--cmsmon.cern.ch--was not accessible on Friday.
Fears that the experiments could prompt natural disasters or black holes that would swallow Earth have led to threatening phone calls and e-mails, CERN said.
End of the world (actual collision testing) is not till early October...
