The disconnection of the LHC has begun
The 27 km circumference of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) contains thousands of magnets of different types – dipoles, quadrupoles, sextupoles, octupoles, decapoles, etc. – which each play a very specific role. Among them are the inner triplets: sets of three quadrupoles (hence the name) located on either side of the four main LHC experiments

HiLumi LHC: new magnets reach full power
The test bench for the High-Luminosity LHC, the IT (Inner Triplet) String facility, has reached a major milestone. On 8 July, its new quadrupole magnets – known as the inner triplet magnets – successfully reached their nominal operating current of 16 230 amperes. Designed to focus the beams more tightly than ever before, thereby increasing the

Accelerator Report: LHC on track despite disruptions throughout the accelerator complex
Following the achievement of 2460-bunch stable beams on 24 May, the accelerator complex experienced an SPS magnet failure, a central timing glitch and a complex-wide power disruption. Yet the LHC remains on track to achieve its 2025 luminosity goal
