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

BASE experiment takes a big step towards portable antimatter
The experiment successfully transported a box filled with unbonded protons across CERN’s main site, thus demonstrating that the same feat could later be possible for antiprotons

Accelerator Report: mostly on schedule, sometimes not…
The beam commissioning of the Antiproton Decelerator will start on 12 June, and the aim is to deliver antiprotons to the eagerly waiting AD-ELENA experiments on 30 June
