This now legendary race – the first edition took place in 1971 – returns with the same ingredients as in past years, which led to record numbers of participants in 2025:

A hadron collider’s energy reach is defined by the circumference of its tunnel and the strength of its dipole magnets. Next-generation hadron colliders look set to have tunnels more than three times longer than the LHC. Further expansion of the energy frontier depends on the ability of accelerator physicists to increase the strength of the
