The year-end technical stop (YETS) officially started on 30 October, with promising performance tests in Linac4. The injection of the first 2024 LHC beam is scheduled for 11 March 2024

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

On 7 March, beams were circulated in the SPS for the first time this year. In this article, we reflect on the successful commissioning of the accelerator’s new beam dump

The schedule for the current long shutdown (LS2) has had to be modified due to the COVID-19 pandemic

As a result of the shutdown caused by the COVID-19 crisis, the injectors will restart at the end of the year and the LHC will restart in autumn 2021

Two new beam dumps are ready to be installed in the Proton Synchrotron

After years of careful preparation, the LHC’s second long shutdown, LS2, is now under way. Over the coming 18 months, the upgrade of the LHC’s injector complex will be the primary focus for technical teams across the Organization

After 40 years of service, the linear accelerator has shut down and passed the baton to Linac4, which will take over as the first link in the accelerator chain

An important protection component for the High-Luminosity LHC has been successfully tested at the HiRadMat facility

The first of the 28 radio-frequency cavities for the PS Booster’s new acceleration system is ready

As part of the EYETS activities, the Linac3 ion source was converted to a xenon ion source
