High-temperature superconductors have the potential to revolutionise the field of particle physics
Frozen particles of gas falling from the LHC’s vacuum chambers into the beam could possibly be the explanation for the recent beam losses
The European X-ray Free-Electron Laser in Germany, inaugurated today, showcases the impact of particle accelerators outside physics
Recent CERN Control Centre (CCC) meetings have been dominated by "16L2"
A new peak luminosity record for the LHC has been established (despite some unexpected loss issues)
The first of the 28 radio-frequency cavities for the PS Booster’s new acceleration system is ready
Issue 21 of Accelerating News is now available
The chain of accelerators that prepare beams for the LHC also supplies myriad experiments
On 28 June for the first time in history, the LHC collided beams with 2556 bunches per ring
A look back over the topics covered at FCC week 2017, held in Berlin
The Large Hadron Collider has established a new record of luminosity, delivering a huge amount of data to its experiments
New magnets designed for the High-Luminosity LHC - the Large Hadron Collider upgrade project – are in the prototype phase
