Magnets all Tested Out

danalwynSo we have successfully tested the LHC. Which means that, contrary to popular opinion, we did not suffer a magnet failure. Or at least not one at the current injection energy, which is rather low.
Now the question is whether we will be able to get A) collisions, and B) full energy, without destroying the detectors. There are already a set of nasty rumors circulating about parts which may or may not be in place for the 2008 run. I don't want to speculate too much.
