1) Message boards : Cafe LHC : LHC cooling problems! (Message 20357) Posted 14 Sep 2008 by ayarka Post: Many thanks for the replies. I have been doing distributed computing for many years, be it for Seti@home, the Cliamte prediction project, or stardust@home, and only very recently I started with LHC@home, that\'s why my knowledge about it is rather limited, so thank you again for the info. Physics was always my passion, and I am more than happy to contribute to one of the greatest scientific experiments of our time, whether it is a simulation or real data, and even if it is only needed once every 6 months! ;-)
2) Message boards : Cafe LHC : LHC cooling problems! (Message 20325) Posted 13 Sep 2008 by ayarka Post: Greetings to all from a new member of LHC@home. I have been happily crunching numbers for LHC@home on my machines since 2 days, but this morning, I noticed that BOINC did not receive any data blocks for few hours, I checked the LHC operation page and discovered that 2 major sections (78 and 81) of the LHC were shut down due to loss of cooling (cryo problem), later they went into \"access mode\" allowing people to enter inside the LHC (apparently to fix it), but shortly thereafter, a 3rd section got the same problem, they tried to start the beam only from sections 1 to 6 but without luck, now it seems that there is a vacuum/cooling problem in at least 3 sections according to the info on this page: http://ab-dep-op.web.cern.ch/ab-dep-op/vistar.php?usr=LHC And this page shows a grphical overview of the cooling status of the whole LHC by sections: http://hcc.web.cern.ch/hcc/cryo_main/cryo_maintain.php My question: is any of you still receiving data? My Boinc was idle the whole day!
