Reviewing accelerator operations, supporting an increasingly diverse physics programme and preparing for the High-Luminosity LHC and beyond were key themes of this year’s Chamonix Workshop
2025 will be a crucial year for CERN, with the work towards the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, the last full year of Run 3 and preparations for the HL-LHC era
The LHC’s third run has been extended until July 2026. The long technical stop that will follow will be extended by four months, postponing the start-up of the High-Luminosity LHC until June 2030
How can physicists make particle accelerators more efficient?
Using AI, machine learning and automation, the Efficient Particle Accelerator (EPA) project aims to boost the efficiency of CERN’s accelerators for the high luminosity era and beyond
Dismantling a beam dump is a real conundrum – that’s what the 2020 “autopsy” concluded. To solve it, the new spare LHC beam dumps have been made easier to “cut”
