As the 2016 LHC run ends, the machine has transcended the dreams of its designers

Particles have circulated in the LHC one last time in 2016 before the winter stop of the accelerators for maintenance

How the injector chain has contributed to increase the luminosity of the proton-lead ion run

The Train Inspection Monorail (TIM) is equipped with a camera and several measurement sensors to monitor the LHC tunnel in real-time

After having accelerated a beam up to the design energy of 160 MeV, Linac 4 is now entering a new phase of its commissioning

The LHC has begun colliding beams of protons with lead ions to probe the early universe from which matter emerged

Last week saw the end of proton-proton physics operation for 2016 following a successful year of running at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV

Another very successful five-day machine development block took place last week
