On 19 May, the LHC reached 1200 bunches per beam, a level that is considered meaningful for physics. The full intensity of 2460 bunches per beam could be achieved before the end of the week

The finding also represents the first evidence of the heaviest antimatter hypernucleus yet at the LHC

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

The result opens a new window into the study of the quark–gluon plasma that is believed to have filled the Universe briefly after the Big Bang

The LHC’s tenth year of operation ends with exceptional data collection

Lead-ion physics at the LHC and the SPS North Area is already under way and progressing well. The final lead-ion user in the PS East Area started its physics run on 13 November

For the next 17 days, every minute counts when it comes to taking lead–lead collision data

As the LHC and SPS wrap up their 2024 proton run, teams are making final preparations for the lead-ion physics run starting on 4 November

Using data from the first heavy-ion run of LHC Run 3 in 2023, the experiment presents the first-ever measurement of D0 meson production in photon-lead collisions

This year’s LHC proton run ended on 16 October, surpassing expectations with 11% more collisions than planned. Next up: the lead-ion run

The physics run for the SPS North Area will start on 4 November, followed by the LHC lead-ion physics run on 6 November, and the PS East Area on 11 November

Using collisions between lead nuclei at the LHC, the ALICE collaboration has measured an interference pattern akin to that of the famous double-slit experiment
