Ongoing upgrades on the road to HiLumi
So long and thanks for all the collisions!
On Saturday 27 June at 6 am, the LHC’s Page 1 — the accelerator’s dashboard — said “goodbye” to collisions. The LHC operators dumped the last beams before the accelerator’s metamorphosis. The LHC is now entering a major upgrade phase: four years during which the world’s most powerful collider will be transformed into an even better performing machine. The other CERN accelerators will continue running until the end of August before entering their third long shutdown.
