CERN Accelerating science

As the LHC and SPS wrap up their 2024 proton run, teams are making final preparations for the lead-ion physics run starting on 4 November

This year’s LHC proton run ended on 16 October, surpassing expectations with 11% more collisions than planned. Next up: the lead-ion run

The LHC's third run has been extended until July 2026. The long technical stop that will follow will be extended by four months, postponing the start-up of the High-Luminosity LHC until June 2030

On 23 September, the LHC reached its 2024 target for integrated luminosity. And then a cryogenic station broke down…

The physics run for the SPS North Area will start on 4 November, followed by the LHC lead-ion physics run on 6 November, and the PS East Area on 11 November

Using AI, machine learning and automation, the Efficient Particle Accelerator (EPA) project aims to boost the efficiency of CERN's accelerators for the high luminosity era and beyond

On Sunday, 1 September, the LHC integrated luminosity for Run 3 (2022–2025) equalled that of Run 2 (2015–2018)

The LHC reached its 10 000th fill on 13 August 2024
