Almost the whole accelerator complex is now in “physics mode”, routinely delivering the various types of beam to the different physics facilities and experiments. Notably, the intensity ramp-up in the LHC is progressing remarkably well

The injection of the first protons into the LHC is scheduled for 11 March, but could be brought forward by a few days if all goes well

A new physics run is about to begin! The first particle beams should reach the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on 11 March

The first beams are already circulating in the Linac4 and PS Booster and should reach the LHC on 11 March. A new physics run is about to begin!

In about a week, lead ions will be sent from the SPS into the LHC to collide in the accelerator’s four big experiments

FLOTUS is a new addition to the CLOUD experiment at CERN. By accelerating the oxidation of organic vapours before injecting them into the CLOUD chamber, FLOTUS allows more complex atmospheric phenomena to be studied

Following the winter shutdown, the injectors and accelerators are preparing for the 2023 data-taking season

The last LHC beam of 2022 was dumped in the early morning of Monday, 28 November; 17 weeks later, on Monday, 27 March 2023, we plan to inject the first beam of the year into the LHC
