    Yeah theres a big thread in GD somewhere about this already.

    Many references to Gordon Freeman and the suit do pop up into the conversation!

    It isn't a case of just switching it on, it is powered up in stages. Tested, tweeked, tested some more, more power added, tested....

    You get the idea

    The inside word is: Sometime in August, or worst case in September. We'll be running the final tests without beam at the end of July.

    See slides 3 & 17:

    BTW - I took advantage of my LHC access privileges last week, and have some videos of what it's like down there at the moment. I'll put them on the web shortly
