1) Message boards : Number crunching : 499 wu?? (Message 21878) Posted 26 Feb 2010 by zed Post: This posted in the boinc@australia forum on the 8th feb This is only hearsay but thought it might be worth mentioning . On ABC radio today there was an interview with a scientist from ANU (Australian National University)who is working at the LHC. He said that sometime in the next month the LHC will be up and running but only at 1/2 power due to current equipment not being able to handle the amount of heat generated running at full power. He says it could be up and running for at least 12 months to do limited research until such time as they can do upgrades to cope with the heat,which could take up to another 12 months to complete. So sometime in the next couple of months we might see some work generated to feast upon. Since there doesnt seem to be much posted about if or when or why work is being generated, thought this might be of some use .
