Tonight has seen further achievement for the LHC, and the anticlockwise beam seems to have been their main focus through the past 24 hours. Our Silicon Pixel detector triggered on a few beam-gas events from it, and there have been a few important timing measurements made for ALICE. Mostly though, we are waiting with baited breath for collisions. Which, looking at the incredible progress, could come very soon indeed…a Champagne bottle is waiting in the coffee room. We are all very excited! Watch this space…
