LHC experiments see first evidence of a rare Higgs boson decay
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have joined forces to establish the first evidence of the rare decay of the Higgs boson into a Z boson and a photon

Accelerator Report: Full house in the LHC
On 11 May, four days before the original schedule had set a target of 1200 bunches per beam, the LHC made its final intensity ramp-up step to 2400 bunches per beam

Accelerator Report: mostly on schedule, sometimes not…
The beam commissioning of the Antiproton Decelerator will start on 12 June, and the aim is to deliver antiprotons to the eagerly waiting AD-ELENA experiments on 30 June

Giorgio Brianti (1930 – 2023)
Giorgio Brianti(1930 – 2023) — BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://home.cern/news/obituary/accelerators/giorgio-brianti-1930-2023) Giorgio Brianti, a pillar of CERN throughout his 40-year career, passed away on 6 April at the age of 92. He played a major role in the success of CERN and in particular the Large Electron–Positron Collider (LEP) project, and his legacy

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: Beam is back in the LHC
On Wednesday 22 March, the LHC machine, the injection beam lines and all the experiments were closed for the cold check-out of the LHC, an important phase in the commissioning that follows the hardware tests and is a prerequisite for injecting beam into the machine. During this phase, all safety and interlock systems are activated

Accelerator Report: The CERN accelerator complex is awakening from hibernation
The last LHC beam of 2022 was dumped in the early morning of Monday, 28 November; 17 weeks later, on Monday, 27 March 2023, we plan to inject the first beam of the year into the LHC
