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

With the Proton Synchrotron and its Booster accelerating protons to high energies again, the physics season can start at the ISOLDE radioactive ion beam facility and the Antimatter Factory

The Proton Synchrotron accelerated its first beam on 4 March after a comprehensive two-year overhaul

COVID-19 has undoubtedly had an impact on the activities and schedule of LS2. Nevertheless, the accelerators are now starting up again

On 23 October, the PS returned to the Operations group’s hands. Beam commissioning in the accelerator is scheduled for 1 March 2021

Two new internal beam dumps and a new septum magnet have been installed in the PS as part of the LIU project

Two new beam dumps are ready to be installed in the Proton Synchrotron

CERN’s oldest working accelerator has a new injection kicker magnet and will soon receive a new septum as well

Work to renovate CERN’s oldest accelerator continues as part of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project
