Accelerator highlights, challenges and successes in 2023
HiLumi News: Successful test paves the way for magnet production at CERN
Engineers have successfully tested an improved design of a quadrupole magnet manufactured at CERN, confirming that niobium–tin technology is viable for accelerator magnets
Accelerator Report: Exploring performance potential for future benefit
The year-end technical stop (YETS) officially started on 30 October, with promising performance tests in Linac4. The injection of the first 2024 LHC beam is scheduled for 11 March 2024
Accelerator Report: Ending the 2023 run with a quench
Another few days and the last 2023 LHC beams will be dumped, hopefully by the machine protection system following a controlled magnet quench
Accelerator Report: Optimisation for greater success (and new challenges)
Since the last Accelerator Report, lead-ion beams have been successfully provided to the SPS North Area, in particular to the NA61 experiment, which is their principal user
HiLumi News: Recombination dipole prototype successfully tested for the LHC’s high-luminosity upgrade
The D2 prototype magnet, developed and manufactured in Italy, has been integrated and tested in the longest HL-LHC cold mass with corrector magnets from China and CERN
