Accelerator Report: When plans meet reality…
The two beams circulating in the LHC are currently running with different bunch intensities – an unexpected (but successful) premiere, giving us a good chance to reach last year’s luminosity record
Molecules of pear-shaped atomic nuclei bear fruit

The accelerator chain prepares for high luminosity
The accelerators that feed into the Large Hadron Collider are ready to supply more intense beams
Accelerator Report: We reached 100!
On 6 October, the total integrated luminosity passed the symbolic mark of 100 fb⁻¹, exceeding the forecast curve. This allowed the bunch intensity to be increased to explore the intensity reach and limitations in view of the HL-LHC era
