LHC finally at 3.5TeV

Inovaovao writes: As announced on twitter by the CMS experiment, the LHC has finally accelerated both beams to 3.5 TeV for the first time. It thus broke the previous energy record of 1.18 TeV it set last fall.This is after about a month since operations started again this year. We still have to see how long we'll have to wait before they achieve stable beams and collisions at 3.5 TeV. Certainly it's not reading the General Manager's pompous announcements that we'll get any hint for that. If you want to follow what's going on look at the Status Ops.
