With physics data-taking under way this week at the LHC, I’d like to take a look at what’s been happening at the rest of the CERN accelerator chain.

A design for a Lego LHC needs about 3000 more signatures for Lego to consider it for a new product

The LHC and its experiments are back in action, now taking physics data for 2016

The LHC went into standby on Friday last week following an electrical perturbation at point 8, caused by a small animal

Quiet beams declared in the LHC as the first test collisions are made

The LHC has introduced beam for the first time since the year-end technical stop began in December 2015

An update on the maintenance work that’s been carried out on the LHC, the experiments and the machines during the year-end technical stop

It’s March already, and time for the LHC to wake up from its short winter break

In preparation for civil engineering work for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, vibration measurements have been carried out near the LHC

Linac 4 now reaching milestone energy of 50MeV to act as replacement for ageing Linac2, before taking over at head of accelerator chain in 2020

The accelerator is colliding leads ions at an energy about twice as high as that of any previous collider experiment

The Large Hadron Collider today collided protons at lower energies than usual to pave the way for studying lead-ion collisions
