LHC back in collision mode
- pjmlp 11y agoI wonder if any of the C++ code I wrote in 2003-4 is still used.
- Kiro 11y agoPlease tell me more.
- pjmlp 11y agoC++ tool to validate physics algorithms for multi-core stability on researchers workstations, instead of testing them directly on the ATLAS DAQ cluster thus bring it down on errors.
- noobermin 11y agoGiven my experience with academic coding (and in fact, some fleeting experience with cms stuff) I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
- jsingleton 11y agoNice. If you're ever flying to/from Geneva then book on a tour of CERN. It's right next to the airport and it's free. It was great, highly recommended. Although you don't get to go down to the cavern while it's in operation due to safety reasons (high levels of radiation I believe). https://outreach.web.cern.ch/outreach/ https://outreach.web.cern.ch/outreach/
- sschueller 11y agoYou can sometimes still go down just not past the radiation doors. https://goo.gl/photos/QwiF4EY8XuBBp8zm9 https://goo.gl/photos/QwiF4EY8XuBBp8zm9 . Some pics of one of my visits a few years ago in a snow storm: https://goo.gl/photos/926QKx3SgTxbR1vBA https://goo.gl/photos/926QKx3SgTxbR1vBA And here a picture from inside ATLAS that I took at another visit: https://goo.gl/photos/Vp99nwLDqrovKfQM7 https://goo.gl/photos/Vp99nwLDqrovKfQM7 Either way the visit is well worth it.
- batou 11y agoExcellent. Thanks for sharing the photos.
- neals 11y agoThanks for this. I had no idea this was possible. Changing my holiday plans as we speak.
- jnotarstefano 11y agoIf you happen to do that before the end of November, please send me an email (it should be in my profile): I'd love to talk to you over coffee!

- jsingleton 11y agoCan't see it in there. No plans to visit again yet but if you can arrange an underground tour then I may be tempted! :)
- pi-rat 11y agoThat's awesome! Passing by Geneva in August and would have never thought about that.
