For the first time at CERN, an autopsy has been carried out on a radioactive beam dump. Inspection of the inner workings of the device helped the teams to find out more about how materials behave under the impact of high-energy beams

A new experiment has been performed at the HiRadMat facility to test various materials that could be used in the LHC and HL-LHC beam dumps

Beams of protons are again circulating around the collider’s 27-kilometre ring, marking the end of a multiple-year hiatus for upgrade work

On 23 September, 16 CERN Council delegates visited the new underground cavern at Point 1

Magnet training for the LHC circuits will be completed by the end of the year

During LS2, 16 new collimators have been installed in the LHC ready for the next run and above all for the future HL-LHC

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

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
