The synchronization of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) clockwise beam transfer system was successfully performed on Friday, August 8, 2008, with several other good “synch” tests repeated on Saturday.On Friday, a “single bunch of a few particles” was sent down the transfer line from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) accelerator to the LHC.
According to Interaction News, “After a period of optimization, one bunch was kicked up from the transfer line into the LHC beam pipe and steered about 3 kilometres around the LHC itself on the first attempt.”
On Saturday, the clockwise “synch” test was repeated several times to optimize the transfer.
On Sunday, activities for the verification of the LHC hardware resumed.
Beginning on Friday, August 22, 2008, anti-clockwise “synchronization” tests are scheduled to be performed.
