Restarting the entire accelerator complex after a technical stop is rarely seamless and often comes with unexpected technical challenges
We are optimistic that we will have a successful luminosity production period this summer
The LHC is performing well and the injector complex is treating its experimental users to a high level of beam availability
On Friday, 30 June, an exciting milestone was reached: the much-awaited antiproton physics season finally commenced
On Monday, 19 June, LHC operation was paused for one week to allow the technical teams to carry out preventive and corrective maintenance on the machine and its subsystems
For 14 weeks this winter teams are carrying out maintenance and upgrade work on the LHC
What is a good measure of the activity of the Technical Infrastructure team? The number of phone calls
As the New Year begins, CERN’s new Director-General, Fabiola Gianotti looks to the goals and challenges for 2016 and beyond
