Every day counts, so the LHC operations teams have mapped out a precise sequence of running phases to maximise the physics output during the machine’s final months

A new system made of precisely aligned thin, bent crystal arrays will greatly improve particle beams sent to fixed-target experiments in CERN’s North Area, while also protecting sensitive equipment

The final physics season at the LHC has just kicked off! The experiments will record collisions until the end of June, when work will begin on transforming the machine into a high-luminosity accelerator.

Two cold boxes have been transported down into the service tunnels of the future accelerator

Many activities are currently progressing across the accelerator chain as the complex moves steadily towards full operation

Scientists at CERN have triggered the complex cooldown of a 95-m-long test stand that reproduces the underground configuration of innovative technologies for the Large Hadron Collider’s high-luminosity upgrade

Beam commissioning is progressing well in CERN’s accelerator complex, with beams already at the gates of the SPS

Linac4 and the PS Booster have already completed their standalone beam commissioning successfully and have handed over the baton to the PS

CERN’s HiRadMat facility is helping scientists to understand how asteroid materials behave under extreme conditions
