Hello, I've done some research and can't seem to get a read on the day to day logistics of what happens at the LHC. Specifically, say with the ATLAS, do the researchers prepare a proton collision event at a specific day and time, and when that event is done, then spend the next few days or so analyzing the data?
Or, is the experiement continuously running, i.e., is it just a steady stream of particles colliding 24/7, all day long, and they are continually chasing the data by developing algorithms to tease out the interesting interactions? Thanks.
