With the Proton Synchrotron and its Booster accelerating protons to high energies again, the physics season can start at the ISOLDE radioactive ion beam facility and the Antimatter Factory

The Proton Synchrotron accelerated its first beam on 4 March after a comprehensive two-year overhaul

COVID-19 has undoubtedly had an impact on the activities and schedule of LS2. Nevertheless, the accelerators are now starting up again

On 23 October, the PS returned to the Operations group’s hands. Beam commissioning in the accelerator is scheduled for 1 March 2021

Two new internal beam dumps and a new septum magnet have been installed in the PS as part of the LIU project

Two new beam dumps are ready to be installed in the Proton Synchrotron

CERN’s oldest working accelerator has a new injection kicker magnet and will soon receive a new septum as well

Work to renovate CERN’s oldest accelerator continues as part of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project

A colloquium on 25 November will celebrate the anniversary of CERN’s oldest accelerator

A colloquium on 25 November will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the PS

Following our article on the PS Booster, we take a look at the next link in CERN’s accelerator chain: the venerable PS and its magnet system
