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

Sector 4-5 of the LHC has now been cooled with superfluid helium to a temperature of 1.9 K (−271.3 °C)

The final pressure test in the LHC took place in sector 6-7 on 27 October. The pressure tests are the last step before the cooling of each sector

At LHC Point 4, a refrigerator that cools helium from room temperature to 4.5 K (-268.65 °C) has undergone major improvements in preparation for the HL-LHC

The DISMAC project is coming to an end: the last of the 1232 interconnections was closed in August and the cool-down of the machine will now begin

The ATLAS experiment reports the observation of photon collisions producing weak-force carriers and provides further insights into their interactions

Our fourth story in the LHC Physics at Ten series discusses the LHC’s hunt for the hypothetical particle that may make up dark matter

Our third story in the LHC Physics at Ten series takes us on a deeper dive into the Higgs boson

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

The ATLAS and CMS collaborations presented their latest results on new signatures for detecting the Higgs boson at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

Our second story in the LHC Physics at Ten series visits the LHC’s most important discovery so far

The Higgs boson plays a crucial role in the search for dark matter at the Large Hadron Collider
