The SPS accelerated its first LHC-type beam in May and is now sending beams to the North Area, where the physics season has started

CERN has strong partnerships and collaborations with laboratories and research infrastructures in the Member States. One recent example saw superconducting magnets for the future FAIR facility at Germany’s GSI laboratory being tested at CERN

CERN’s fastest-growing collaboration is crystallising an ambitious proposal to tackle the big questions at the heart of particle physics

A team of CERN surveyors have performed geodetic measurements in the framework of the Future Circular Collider feasibility study

Uppsala University is upgrading its FREIA Laboratory, initially constructed for the ESS project, to test superconducting magnets and crab cavities for the HL-LHC

The construction of an underground cavern at Point 1, which will house equipment for the High-Luminosity LHC, has been successfully completed

Physicists discuss the possibility of using particle accelerators to detect or even generate gravitational waves

Are all LHC magnets blue? Who decides the colour of a magnet and on what basis? What does the small purple one do? See our answers below

35 niobium–tin superconducting coils have been manufactured as part of a fruitful collaboration with the company General Electric. They will be used in the 11 T dipoles for the HL-LHC

Two and a quarter years after it was delivered to the LS2 intervention teams, the key to the LHC is back in the hands of the Operations group
