Accelerator Report: Exploring potential performance increases
The LHC injector chain has been switched to a new beam production scheme to explore its potential to produce more collisions in the LHC and to compare its performance to that of the standard LHC beam

Accelerator Report: The LHC is well ahead of schedule
Almost the whole accelerator complex is now in “physics mode”, routinely delivering the various types of beam to the different physics facilities and experiments. Notably, the intensity ramp-up in the LHC is progressing remarkably well

ALICE bags about twelve billion heavy-ion collisions
The whopping number of collisions recorded by ALICE during the recent five-week heavy-ion run of the LHC is 40 times greater than the total recorded by the experiment in its previous periods of heavy-ion data taking, from 2010 to 2018

Accelerator Report: Exploring performance potential for future benefit
The year-end technical stop (YETS) officially started on 30 October, with promising performance tests in Linac4. The injection of the first 2024 LHC beam is scheduled for 11 March 2024

Accelerator Report: Ending the 2023 run with a quench
Another few days and the last 2023 LHC beams will be dumped, hopefully by the machine protection system following a controlled magnet quench

Accelerator Report: Crescendo at the LHC following the first stable beams at 6.8 TeV
Another important milestone was achieved in the LHC beam commissioning: on 21 April, the LHC Engineer in Charge declared “stable beams” at 6.8 TeV, the first time in 2023

Accelerator Report: Preparing for the upcoming LHC restart
With the progressive recommissioning of the injectors – including, now, the SPS – the various types of beam are being set up and are gradually reaching the downstream accelerators
