The major news this week is, of course, the start of LHC Run 2
Last night the LHC operations team successfully circulated a beam at 6.5 TeV - one of many steps before the LHC can deliver collisions to experiments
With proton beams back in the LHC, operations experts have weeks of work to do before they can collide beams in experiments at the energy of 13 TeV
Some 340 people attended the inaugural FCC conference week in Washington DC to discuss the study status and plans for the future
The LHC started up again on Sunday for the first time in two years. LHC operators celebrated the smooth restart with champagne and chocolate eggs
Featuring some 33 talks about latest results and the future of cosmic-ray physics, CERN’s AMS Days will take place from 15-17 April
After two years of intense maintenance and consolidation the Large Hadron Collider is back in operation
The first beams could be circulating in the machine sometime between Saturday and Monday
The short circuit to ground delaying the restart of the LHC has been fixed
Against a backdrop of great progress in the powering tests for running at 6.5 TeV, a short cicuit is causing a delay, writes Rolf Heuer
A short circuit in a superconducting dipole magnet is delaying the beam injection in the LHC. Teams are working around the clock to fix the issue
