So, we are getting closer to the start-up, when ever that will be.

At that point, what happens to the project? Are we done? I hope that we are still able to contribute something.

When LHC goes live they will create mini black holes and other weird particles that will destroy the Universe. Therefore no plans have been made for after that date.

My understanding was that when the LHC goes live there will be a heap of work to be processed something like over 100,000 DVD’s of data collected a year for us to process, is this the case or not?

There will be tons of data to be processed, however little if any will be coming through the BOINC project according to the last official word I saw. The data size to processing time ratio is likely to be too high for efficient distribution.

OK thankyou for the info I was unaware of this. Keck_Komputers can you remember where you were reading the latest official word? I'd be interested in having a read.
Thank's for info
