Accelerator Report: Another exciting year ahead
Although the much-appreciated winter break is well behind us and most of us are back at work, the accelerator complex is still in hibernation – but not for much longer

Accelerator Report: The excellent 2024 LHC run ended abruptly
The LHC was scheduled to conclude its outstanding 2024 run on 25 November, but a massive magnet quench brought it to an end two days early

New schedule for CERN’s accelerators
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

Accelerator Report: LHC Run 3 achieves record-breaking integrated luminosity
On Sunday, 1 September, the LHC integrated luminosity for Run 3 (2022–2025) equalled that of Run 2 (2015–2018)

ATLAS probes uncharted territory with LHC Run 3 data
The ATLAS collaboration has released its first results from searches for new physics phenomena conducted with data from Run 3 of the LHC

New beam dumps: cut along the dotted line
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”

Accelerator Report: Setting the stage for a productive summer
We are optimistic that we will have a successful luminosity production period this summer

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
