CERN Accelerating science

Hot water from the LHC’s cooling system at Point 8 will be collected to heat a new area of the neighbouring commune of Ferney-Voltaire

Improvements to the cryogenics infrastructure will more than double the liquid helium production capacity of SM18

At CERN, 40 000 cables will be installed or removed during LS2. Laid end to end, they would stretch for 2000 kilometres!

From today, all SI base units will be defined based on natural constants, with the kilogram the last to join the ranks

The energy extraction systems absorb the energy of the LHC magnets in case of a quench. Their consolidation is conducted in collaboration with two Russian institutes

All the links in the LHC’s cryogenic chain are being examined with a fine-tooth comb in order to detect and correct any issues

A round-table with CERN alumni focused on making the move from CERN to industry

After a long voyage, CERN’s newest and biggest power transformer is ready to reign over the BE2 electrical substation

Excavation of the two new shafts for the HL-LHC at points 1 and 5 of the accelerator has been completed

An important protection component for the High-Luminosity LHC has been successfully tested at the HiRadMat facility
