Deployment of large test array of MoEDAL detectors
In January 2011 MoEDAL physicists deployed an array of 130 stacks of Nuclear Track Detectors (NTD), where each stack consists of 10 sheets of plastic NTD of area 25cm x 25cm. This deployment corresponds to roughly one third of the full deployment that is slated for the long shutdown of the LHC. This test stack

Installation of the MoEDAL test detectors at Point 8
Roughly one square metre (out of 25) of MoEDAL nuclear track detector stacks were deployed in the VELO cavern of the LHCb experiment at Point 8 on the CERN ring. They were installed just prior to the restart of the LHC. Test detectors deployed

The LHCC approves the MoEDAL TDR
The LHCC has completed its scientific and technical evaluation of the MoEDAL Technical Design Report (TDR) submitted in June 2009 (LHCC 2009-006 / MoEDAL TDR 001). The Committee was impressed by the quality of the work presented in the TDR and congratulates the Collaboration. The MoEDAL detector is well suited to search for highly-ionizing particles
