The proton physics run has now been paused for the first block of machine development studies, a technical stop and short oxygen- and neon-ion physics runs. Protons will be back in the machines on 12 July
With FCC Week in Vienna and meetings at CERN, the Future Circular Collider project has been engaging with and answering queries from international, internal and local communities
Klystrons are key components in the development of future energy-efficient colliders. The latest edition of the CERN Courier magazine explores their recent developments.
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
On 19 May, the LHC reached 1200 bunches per beam, a level that is considered meaningful for physics. The full intensity of 2460 bunches per beam could be achieved before the end of the week
The LHC operations team and many other experts have been working hard to set up and validate the accelerator for safe beam operation, leading to the first stable beams for physics of 2025 on 5 May
The LHC has restarted and both beams have been circulating in the machine since 8 April, meaning that the start of the LHC beam commissioning during Easter is apparently not a constant of nature
Released today, a report of a study investigating the project’s feasibility will serve as input for the European Strategy for Particle Physics and be assessed by the CERN Council in the coming months
