Watch CERN engineers explain the work during the laboratory's long shutdown to prepare the LHC for running at 13 TeV

Particles were successfully injected into the LHC last weekend, passing through three sectors of the accelerator

The Operations team is testing the systems that deliver beams to the Large Hadron Collider in preparation for the start-up this month

The CCC is the nerve centre of the CERN beam systems. The people at the five consoles work 24/7 to get everything ready for Run 2

Two years ago, CERN's accelerators and experiments shut down for maintenance, to prepare the LHC for running at 13 TeV

Recent publications from CMS use data from the LHC's first run to shed light on the properties of the Higgs boson

With ‘LHC Season 2’ starting soon, running at a new high energy, the LHC key is handed back to the machine operators today

The CERN cryogenics team are filling the LHC with liquid helium, cooling entire sections to below 4K
