CERN Accelerating science

A High-Luminosity LHC instrument known as the Beam Gas Curtain will be tested and start collecting data during Run 3

A second 7.2-metre-long HL-LHC triplet quadrupole has reached the currents needed for 7 TeV operation, with higher performances

The last LHC beam of 2022 was dumped in the early morning of Monday, 28 November; 17 weeks later, on Monday, 27 March 2023, we plan to inject the first beam of the year into the LHC

The first phase involves a major geographical, geological and environmental data-gathering effort

CERN’s Future Colliders unit launches a new seminar series to present the different future collider projects being studied to the broader CERN community

Feasibility Study for a possible FCC gets under way on the ground

A flexible cryostat and the first series of high-temperature superconducting magnesium diboride cables will form an innovative electrical transfer line to power the HL-LHC inner triplet magnets

The first Chamonix workshop, dedicated to LEP performance, took place in 1991 – we’ve come a long way since then!

The first “MKI-Cool” was installed in early January – water-cooled ferrite cylinders will protect the LHC’s kicker magnets from increased heat load in the high-luminosity era

The 7.2-metre-long version of this vital HL-LHC component reached nominal current plus an operational margin corresponding to a coil peak field of 11.5 T at 1.9 K during a test in SM18

Looking back on an exciting year for the LHC and its injector complex
