Before the LHC was shut down for the winter, the operators tested techniques under development for its successor, the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC)

The LHC’s 2017 proton run has ended with record luminosity. The special runs will now take place before the winter shutdown.

With 19 days still to go, the LHC has reached its 2017 production target, delivering more than 45 inverse femtobarns to the experiments

The Large Hadron Collider has established a new record of luminosity, delivering a huge amount of data to its experiments

The LHC has been accelerating more and more protons, and to allow the machine to reach its maximum intensity, it will undergo a thorough scrubbing.

Data-taking has started again at the LHC: the experiments are continuing their exploration of physics at the unprecedented energy of 13 TeV.

Adjustments to the thousands of pieces of equipment making up the LHC are ongoing before data taking can start for 2017

For the first time this year, the LHC is circulating beams of protons, following a 17-week-long extended technical stop
