Bringing black hole jets down to Earth
The Fireball collaboration has used CERN’s HiRadMat facility to produce an analogue of the jets of matter and antimatter that stream out of some black holes and neutron stars

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: 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

Accelerator Report: Getting lead ions ready for physics
In about a week, lead ions will be sent from the SPS into the LHC to collide in the accelerator’s four big experiments

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
