so what about at 10 TeV – could we hope to see something?

* Zn is a measure of the significance (as
used in CSC5) which tries to take into
account systematic uncertainties on the
bkg measurements. Numbers in the table
are calculated assuming 50% uncertainty
on QCD and 20% on all other bkgs –
these are not the “right” numbers –
dedicated bkg studies needed for those!

“Commissioning to 10 TeV should be fast, no quench being anticipated, giving us confidence that the experiments will be recording data at record high energies by the summer.
In 1989, it was only a matter of weeks before LEP produced its first profound result – a measurement of the number of light neutrino families. In this respect at least, history will not be repeating itself. The LHC is a discovery machine, and the discoveries it is chasing will require a little more patience.”
Robert Aymar, on the 10TeV run
