Accelerator Report: SPS and LHC lead-ion physics: navigating technical hurdles for success
On Thursday, 28 September, at 8.00 a.m., as planned, the Operations team at the SPS stopped producing proton beams for the experiments in the SPS North Area (NA). Instead, they switched over to lead-ion beams, in preparation for a month-long physics run that begins on Monday, 2 October, and will continue until 6.00 a.m. on

Computer security: T2U4U2FA* *Thanks to you for using 2FA
One year ago, the CERN Computer Security team and the IT Identity Management team started the CERN-wide roll-out of multifactor authentication to staff and users. The combination of a second “factor”, i.e. something you have, and the primary factor “something you know”1, i.e. your password, provides the ultimate silver bullet for the protection of your
