Geneva, 9 May 2017. At a ceremony today, CERN inaugurated its linear accelerator, Linac 4, the newest accelerator acquisition since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Linac 4 is due to feed the CERN accelerator complex with particle beams of higher energy, which will allow the LHC to reach higher luminosity by 2021. After an extensive testing period, Linac 4 will be connected to CERN’s accelerator complex during the upcoming long technical shut down in 2019-20. Linac 4 will replace Linac 2, which has been in service since 1978. It will become the first step in CERN’s accelerator chain, delivering proton beams to a wide range of experiments. Source: CERN (CDS)

The event shows characteristics expected from the decay of a Higgs boson but is also consistent with background Standard Model physics processes. Source: CERN (CDS)

BASE is one of the experiments at CERN’s Antimatter Factory. The video fotage starts with an aerial (drone) view of the Antimatter Factory building seen from outside (00’01”); the flight continues inside over the experimental area with an overview of the Alfa and ASACUSA experiments (00’13”); finally the drone flies over the BASE experiment (00’19”), where spokesperson Stefan Ulmer can be seen (00’25”) inserting a Nitrogen level metre inside BASE’s cryostat. This probe is used to measure the level of Nitrogen in the vessel. BASE uses liquid Nitrogen and liquid Heliumto keep its penning trap cold, which is necessary to prevent its anti-protons to annihilate. Source: CERN (CDS)
