“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

* Zn is a measure of the significance (as used in CSC5) which tries to take into account systematic

uncertainties on the bkg measurements. The numbers in the table above are calculated assuming

50% uncertainty on QCD and 20% on all other bkgs – these are not necessarily the “right”

numbers – dedicated bkg studies needed for those! 1111

A 5x increase in centre-of-mass energy compared to previous A 5x increase in centre-of-mass energy compared to previous experiments is still a lot!!! – and the discovery of light SUSY may experiments is still a lot!!! – and the discovery of light SUSY may not need much data (it doesn’t take much to give large S/not need much data (it doesn’t take much to give large S/B values B values for the models considered here)for the models considered here)
