After years of careful preparation, the LHC’s second long shutdown, LS2, is now under way. Over the coming 18 months, the upgrade of the LHC’s injector complex will be the primary focus for technical teams across the Organization

The HL-LHC is shaping up to be a worthy successor to the LHC, which is having another spectacular year

Beams were circulating in the LHC by 30 March (five days in advance!), and everything is looking good for a strong final year of LHC Run II.

This year’s LHC performance workshop took place in Chamonix from 29 January to 1 February.

Twenty years ago, CERN established a dedicated policy and structure for knowledge and technology transfer

Frédérick Bordry gives an overview of the 2017 LHC performance workshop in Chamonix

The target for the LHC integrated luminosity for 2016 was 25 inverse femtobarns. We reached 40.

With physics data-taking under way this week at the LHC, I’d like to take a look at what’s been happening at the rest of the CERN accelerator chain.

Frédérick Bordry discusses the opportunities presented when large research institutes attempt to solve energy problems and share best practice

Frédérick Bordry, chair of the second workshop on Energy for Sustainable Science, on how CERN is contributing to the Sustainable Science conversation

There are many things that can be done to manage energy in a way that makes science sustainable, says Technology department head Frédérick Bordry
