  • An encouraging start for Run 3

    In challenging times, it’s reassuring to see CERN’s accelerator complex fully up and running again, with physics being delivered to the experiments at ISOLDE and HIE-ISOLDE, n_TOF, AD-ELENA, the East Area, the North Area, AWAKE, HiRadMat, CLEAR and, of course, the LHC – the current temporary unscheduled stop notwithstanding – and great work being done

  • Pre-spring update from the accelerator complex

    Midwinter spring is its own season and the injector complex has started to shake off the relatively short but effective year-end technical stop (YETS). On 14 February, H– ions were accelerated again to 160 MeV in Linac4 and taken in the direction of the Booster. Beam was taken into the Booster itself ahead of schedule
