The LHC’s 2017 proton run has ended with record luminosity. The special runs will now take place before the winter shutdown.
The Large Hadron Collider has established a new record of luminosity, delivering a huge amount of data to its experiments
The crab cavities, a key component for the HL-LHC luminosity increase, show remarkable first test results
Particles have circulated in the LHC one last time in 2016 before the winter stop of the accelerators for maintenance
This week, the LHC will ignore its motto of ‘maximum luminosity’, and perform special runs at very low luminosity
The LHC has been in great shape over the last few months, delivering over 20 fb-1 of integrated luminosity before the ICHEP conference
After two months at full throttle, the LHC is taking a short break to allow various studies of its operation
The LHC has chalked up a series of new records, providing its experiments with a torrent of new data
These two last weeks have been a highlight of LHC operation, delivering record luminosity
Higher intensity beams are circulating in the LHC providing more and more collisions to the experiments
The High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan celebrates first turns and successful storage of beams in the SuperKEKB collider
Lucio Rossi reflects on how particle accelerators extend our sense of sight
