The LHC has been accelerating more and more protons, and to allow the machine to reach its maximum intensity, it will undergo a thorough scrubbing.

CERN’s Vacuum, Surfaces and Coatings group has contributed to the development of vacuum chambers for MAX IV, the new synchrotron in Sweden

On 17 January the Vacuums, Surfaces and Coatings (VSC) Group had exactly one hour to extract and fix a faulty 2-metre section of the LHC's vacuum
