This morning between 8:20 and 8:50 for the first time the full Tracker (Strips and Pixel) was turned ON and successfully collected data in Global run with a quiet single beam running in LHC. This is a major achievement. Everything seems all right including occupancies. DPG studies are on the way. Collisions at 900 GeV are expected this Wed. Many thanks to all involved.
