Accelerator Report: SPS and LHC lead-ion physics: navigating technical hurdles for success
On Thursday, 28 September, at 8.00 a.m., as planned, the Operations team at the SPS stopped producing proton beams for the experiments in the SPS North Area (NA). Instead, they switched over to lead-ion beams, in preparation for a month-long physics run that begins on Monday, 2 October, and will continue until 6.00 a.m. on
