Webcast schedule for the LHC First Physics event - 30 March 2010
Five webcasts will be available from CERN on 30 March. The main webcast will include live footage from the control rooms for the LHC accelerator and all four LHC experiments and coverage of the press conference to announce the first collisions. Webcasts will also be available from the control rooms of the four LHC experiments: ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. The webcasts will be primarily in English.
This schedule is subject to change. The main event is the first attempt to collide protons at 7 TeV in the center of the LHC experiments, a very complicated procedure that could take time to accomplish. Changes from the published schedule will be announced in the webcast
All times are Central European Summer Time (CEST)
Schedule for main webcast
| 8:30 | Webcast begins with live coverage of the LHC accelerator team's daily meeting in the CERN Control Centre |
| 9:00 | Webcast continues with the first attempt to collide protons at 7 TeV (3.5 TeV per beam). Live satellite coverage begins via EBU. From 9:00 to 11:00, coverage will include: live footage from the control rooms of the LHC accelerator and experiments; step-by-step explanations of how the LHC teams bring beams into collision, with commentary from the team operating the LHC accelerator; and interviews with leaders of CERN and the LHC experiments. |
| 11:00 | Webcast continues; live satellite coverage ends. From 11:00-15:30, coverage will include: live footage from the control rooms of the LHC accelerator and experiments; updates on progress of beams and collisions; interviews with experts on the physics of the LHC at 7 TeV. |
