In the last two weeks, the LHC teams have encountered two main challenges that have led to some changes to the filling scheme

Almost the whole accelerator complex is now in “physics mode”, routinely delivering the various types of beam to the different physics facilities and experiments. Notably, the intensity ramp-up in the LHC is progressing remarkably well

This marks the beginning of physics for the third year of Run 3 of CERN’s flagship particle accelerator

Beam commissioning is progressing well across the entire accelerator complex, but challenges have arisen, in particular in Linac4, highlighting the complexities involved

On 8 March, three days ahead of schedule, the first proton beam was injected into the LHC, kicking off the 2024 LHC beam commissioning

The injection of the first protons into the LHC is scheduled for 11 March, but could be brought forward by a few days if all goes well

A new physics run is about to begin! The first particle beams should reach the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on 11 March

The first beams are already circulating in the Linac4 and PS Booster and should reach the LHC on 11 March. A new physics run is about to begin!

Highlights from this year’s Chamonix workshop, including the crucial role that the injectors play in shaping future research endeavours

The collimation system of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which protects the accelerator’s components, needs an upgrade to be able to handle the performance of CERN’s future accelerator

From high above to far below, journey through the CERN highlights of 2023

During the LHC era and on the cusp of the High-Luminosity LHC era, theoretical and experimental physicists are already using precision calculations to find the smallest deviations that might reveal new physics
