Registration for the 2019 session of the Joint Universities Accelerator School (JUAS) is now open
The first collisions of lead nuclei mark the start of the latest LHC heavy-ion run
The HL-LHC is shaping up to be a worthy successor to the LHC, which is having another spectacular year
The LHC’s proton run came to an end on Wednesday 24 October with an excellent result of 160 fb-1 of data accumulated since the start of 2015
Halfway between launch and start-up, what is the status of the High-Luminosity LHC project?
Studies on beam adjustment and new components are being conducted in preparation for future LHC runs
At the end of October, the last protons for Run 2 will circulate inside the LHC. The next protons will be injected only in the spring of 2021!
Since the recovery from the recent machine development period, the LHC has been in luminosity production mode, crawling its way up towards 60 fb-1
