Beam now reaches the beam dump area, half way around

They have now got beam as far as the beam dump, in the old OPAL pit. This means that one of the beams have gone half way around. This is further than the 'synchronisation tests' had managed. Things are really progressing rather well, the schedule of one beam circulating by 11am still seems quite possible.
