The AD operations team received on Friday, 1 June – 12 days earlier than rescheduled – the green light from the AD injection kicker expert: beam could be injected again in the AD ring

On 11 May, four days before the original schedule had set a target of 1200 bunches per beam, the LHC made its final intensity ramp-up step to 2400 bunches per beam

Precise knowledge of luminosity is crucial for both searches for new phenomena and precision measurements of known Standard Model processes

Looking back on an exciting year for the LHC and its injector complex

Both the CMS and ATLAS experiments have performed luminosity measurements with spectacular precision

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
