CERN Accelerating science

The North Area, part of the Super Proton Synchrotron complex, will see a major two-phased facelift in the upcoming years

Magnet training for the LHC circuits will be completed by the end of the year

During LS2, 16 new collimators have been installed in the LHC ready for the next run and above all for the future HL-LHC

The SPS accelerated its first LHC-type beam in May and is now sending beams to the North Area, where the physics season has started

CERN has strong partnerships and collaborations with laboratories and research infrastructures in the Member States. One recent example saw superconducting magnets for the future FAIR facility at Germany’s GSI laboratory being tested at CERN

CERN’s fastest-growing collaboration is crystallising an ambitious proposal to tackle the big questions at the heart of particle physics

A team of CERN surveyors have performed geodetic measurements in the framework of the Future Circular Collider feasibility study

Uppsala University is upgrading its FREIA Laboratory, initially constructed for the ESS project, to test superconducting magnets and crab cavities for the HL-LHC

Physicists discuss the possibility of using particle accelerators to detect or even generate gravitational waves

Registration is open until 18 August for the CERN Accelerator School’s course “Introduction to Accelerator Physics”, 25 September - 8 October 2021, Chavannes de Bogis, Switzerland

The construction of an underground cavern at Point 1, which will house equipment for the High-Luminosity LHC, has been successfully completed
