When the LHC started running at the end of March 2010--after a 14-month shutdown for major repairs--one of the main objectives was reaching a luminosity of 10[superscript 32] cm [superscript -2] s [superscript -1] by the end of 2010. On 13 October 2010 that goal was achieved. One important parameter to take into account to reach this luminosity is…

Proton beams have been colliding at 7 TeV in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) since 30 March 2010, meaning that the LHC research programme is underway. Particle physicists around the world are looking forward to using the data from these collisions, as the LHC is running at an energy three and a half times higher than previously achieved at any…
