Beams around both rings

My updates are getting later, but at 17:35 local time the LHC got beams around both rings. This is I think further than people had reasonably hoped to get in the first day. However, I would be very surprised if they tried to bring anything into collision; the beams are only doing a few turns, and you need the rf system to keep them stable for longer.
Still, this is amazing progress, and the detector, software and offline computing all worked pretty well for ATLAS.
