Cloudy with a chance of muons
When you want to capture an important moment in your life, you often take a photo. You could write down the key details instead – who you were with, where you were, the time of day – but this information might not be as impactful as a picture of the event. Physicists like to record

Smarter decisions at the speed of physics
Smart and fast decision making is key when dealing with the onslaught of collisions at the LHC. At the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), the ATLAS and CMS experiments are expected to process detector data at rates corresponding to roughly a quarter of the 2025 global internet traffic. All in real time, as part of the

HiLumi LHC: CERN’s full-scale test stand enters the powering phase
With the start of electrical powering, the Inner Triplet String is now entering a new phase of commissioning. This phase will be carried out progressively and will culminate in the powering of the whole installation this summer

Accelerator Report: HiLumi LHC beam reliability runs pave the way to the future
Dedicated HiLumi LHC beam test runs are currently taking place in the LHC injectors – a crucial step to guarantee that the HiLumi LHC can operate at peak performance from the very start of physics running, in 2030

Final laps at the LHC
The final physics season at the LHC has just kicked off! The experiments will record collisions until the end of June, when work will begin on transforming the machine into a high-luminosity accelerator.

Accelerator Report: A very busy technical stop ahead of Long Shutdown 3
This technical stop is particularly intense, being both shorter than usual, to maximise the limited time for physics, and very busy, to make essential preparations for LS3, which begins in June
