Work to renovate CERN’s oldest accelerator continues as part of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project

All of the interconnections between the LHC superconducting magnets have been opened: an important step for the diode consolidation project

One hundred and fifty people are hard at work upgrading the Large Hadron Collider’s superconducting magnets

Thirty years ago, after just three weeks of operation, the experiments of the Large Electron-Positron collider announced their first spectacular result

Two teams are treating the vacuum chambers of selected SPS magnets to limit the electron-cloud phenomenon, which can disrupt the beams

The first definitive component of the High-Luminosity LHC, an absorber designed to protect the machine, has been installed in the LHC

New vacuum chambers are being developed for the ALICE and CMS experiments

New injection and acceleration equipment is being installed in the PS Booster, which is in the midst of a major overhaul

The EU-funded programme announces the successful proposals in its call for projects. CERN scientists are involved in 19 of the projects selected

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 SPS radiofrequency acceleration system is being enhanced with a new technology: solid-state amplifiers

In the first of our series of articles on work done during LS2, we focus on the second link in the accelerator chain, the PS Booster
