During LS2, CMS will install 144 additional muon detector modules specially designed to detect particles produced in the very forward region
During the long shutdown of CERN’s accelerators, the ALICE experiment at the LHC is removing and refurbishing or replacing the majority of its detectors
The experiment, which will complement existing searches for dark matter at the LHC, will be operational in 2021
With the LHC switched off for a two-year technical stop, CMS is undergoing significant maintenance and upgrades
Enhancing ATLAS’s detection capabilities in preparation for the LHC restart
Major internal improvements await the ALICE detector during CERN’s Long Shutdown 2 (LS2)
The LHCb detector will undergo a metamorphosis during CERN’s second long shutdown (LS2)
Registration for the 2019 session of the European School of Instrumentation in Particle and Astroparticle Physics (ESIPAP) is now open
The International School of Trigger and Data AcQuisition will be held at the University of London in Egham (UK) from 3 to 12 April 2019
