NEWS FROM POINT 2
- BOOKING is now OPEN in SAMS for all slots up to 30 October, including the pp reference run and Heavy Ion period: From 18 September to 30 October we will enter a critical data taking phase during which we will collect data for the proton-proton reference run and Heavy Ion. If you are interested in taking shifts during the exciting phase of the life of the collaboration and you have questions, do not hesitate to contact:
- DCS: Peter Chochula and André Augustinus
- ECS: Roberto Divia
- QC-PDP: Daniele De Gruttola and Ole Schmidt
- SL: Silvia Pisano
- RC: ALICE Run Coordination
- ALICE central operations:
- ALICE started yesterday the interaction rate scan with the first fill at 2400b. First step at 10 kHz, mu ~ 0.05% ongoing, target 1 Billion events.

- LHC Status:
- LHC is now in production for physics.
On 11 May, LHC collided beams with 2400 proton bunches per beam, reaching its maximum target for LHC Run3 at the record energy of 6.8 TeV per beam. The picture shows an event display recorded by the ALICE .

DIVERSITY
- Inclusive Teamwork Workshops (Still places are available to participate): ALICE first-level coordinators, project leaders, team leaders, PWG conveners and PAG coordinators are encouraged to attend. Here are the dates of the upcoming sessions in 2023 (registration on Indico):
- 8th IUPAP International Conference on Women in Physics (ICWIP2023): will be held from 10 to 14 July 2023 hosted by India.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) has recognised a particular need to foster the participation of women in physics. The IUPAP Conferences series on Women in Physics has a history not only of success and growth but also of making a difference to the physics community.
