Giorgio Brianti (1930 – 2023)
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 lives on across the whole of the accelerator

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

Cool kickers for the HL-LHC
The first “MKI-Cool” was installed in early January – water-cooled ferrite cylinders will protect the LHC’s kicker magnets from increased heat load in the high-luminosity era
