Last night, while most of the collaboration was sleeping, LHC reached the 2011 milestone of delivering one inverse femtobarn of luminosity to LHCb.
In the words of our spokesperson, Pierluigi Campana: This is a great achievement for us and for the scientific community, thanks to the excellent performance of the machine, to the skill and to the commitment of the whole LHC team.
This result is even more remarkable, considering that LHC was able to deliver high quality data at the same time, and with different luminosities, to the four LHC experiments.
This performance will allow us to push even further the search for new physics and for unexpected phenomena in the flavor sector.
I really have nothing to add to that except, congratulations to all involved. 🙂
