The end of the LHC’s second run makes way for a busy long shutdown

The CERN accelerator complex is being switched off step-by-step in order to prepare for Long Shutdown 2 (LS2)

The beam screen for the High-Luminosity LHC will be installed by 2024 in the aperture of the inner triplet superconducting magnets near ATLAS and CMS

After an outstanding performance, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the accelerator complex and the experiments are now stopping for two years for major improvements and upgrading.

Registration is now open for the CERN Accelerator School’s course on High-Gradient Wakefield Accelerators, to be held in Sesimbra, Portugal from 11 March to 22 March 2019

In October, for the first time, crystal collimators were used to improve the performance of the beam cleaning process at the LHC during a physics run

The one-month 2018 heavy-ion run has just one week left to go

The first collisions of lead nuclei mark the start of a new LHC heavy-ion run

After 40 years of service, the linear accelerator has shut down and passed the baton to Linac4, which will take over as the first link in the accelerator chain
