Accelerator Report: A well-deserved winter break for the accelerator complex
Soon, CERN personnel will take a well-deserved winter break, just like the accelerator complex. Following a successful year, the remainder of the accelerator complex was stopped on 2 December, marking the official start of the year-end technical stop
