A week ago the LHC finished the 2015 run of 13 TeV proton collisions. The counter in ATLAS stopped exactly at 4 inverse femtobarns. CMS reports just 10% less, however it is not clear what fraction of these data is collected with their magnet on (probably about a half). Anyway, it should have been better, it could have been worse... 4 fb-1 is one fifth of what ATLAS and CMS collected in the glorious year 2012. On the other hand, the higher collision energy in 2015 translates to larger product
