    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

    Well, looking at it, it would be more of a nascar track.

    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
