Radiofrequency cavity storage
Old radiofrequency cavities from CERN's previous accelerators are stored in area 2
Radiofrequency cavities
Metallic chambers along particle accelerators contain electromagnetic fields that accelerate passing particles in tightly controlled bunches
LHC collides protons with lead ions for the first time
The switch - a test for a longer proton-lead run scheduled for January to February 2013 - presented numerous technical challenges
Testing begins for CERN's future linear accelerator
Linear accelerator 4 will deliver particles to the Proton-Synchrotron Booster at more than triple the energy the current linac achieves
Testing begins on Linear accelerator 4
Linac 4 has begun testing its RFQ module. This is the first stage of testing for the Linac 2 successor
