If a technical alert goes off at CERN, it will almost certainly show up on one of Chris Wetton's 15 screens in the CERN Control Centre. Wetton is a member of the Technical Infrastructure Operation group, an eight-strong team that works 24/7 to monitor all the services for CERN's accelerator complex. A system of sensitive triggers throughout the complex sends an alert as soon as any deviation is detected so the team can react quickly.
