Weren't they aiming for 7 TeV?

  As the training of the LHC magnets takes a long time, it was decided to run at 6.5 TeV per beam in 2015: http://home.web.cern.ch/about/engineering/restarting-lhc-why-13-tev http://home.web.cern.ch/about/engineering/restarting-lhc-why... Maybe next year the energy will be increased to 7 TeV.

  It was already running at 7 Tev, now it's at 13 TeV.

    Currently it is at 6.5 Tev per beam. They will increase it to 7 Tev( which I was asking ) per beam.

  It's so easy to be disappointed, isn't it? Fermilab had a .9TeV beam 30 years ago, so that's only ~7x in three decades, basically nothing for people accustomed to Moore's Law.

    I will gladly accept mere incremental performance upgrades when my CPU speed crosses the ole terahertz barrier.
