CERN Accelerating science

The LHC was scheduled to conclude its outstanding 2024 run on 25 November, but a massive magnet quench brought it to an end two days early

The LHC’s tenth year of operation ends with exceptional data collection

Lead-ion physics at the LHC and the SPS North Area is already under way and progressing well. The final lead-ion user in the PS East Area started its physics run on 13 November

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

Lyn Evans was Project Leader for the Large Hadron Collider

The timing and duration of the third long shutdown (LS3) of the Large Hadron Collider and injector complex has changed, here’s why

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)
