The LHC operators hope to break last year’s record for total proton-proton collisions delivered to the experiments

Experiments resume at CERN’s second-largest accelerator, the Super Proton Synchrotron

Beams were circulating in the LHC by 30 March (five days in advance!), and everything is looking good for a strong final year of LHC Run II.

The 2018 proton season has started well ahead of schedule

The Large Hadron Collider has initiated the collision of proton beams for the first time this year

Protons have been circulating in the Large Hadron Collider since Friday 30 March, marking the start of the machine’s seventh year of operation

Despite the tight schedules, all machines were closed in time and first beams will be injected as scheduled

The latest issue focuses on opportunities and research challenges for next-generation accelerators, and accelerator technology education

New collimators are being installed and tested in the LHC. They will improve its protection and prepare it for higher luminosity in the HL-LHC

After two decades of design and construction, CERN’s newest accelerator, Linac4, is on its way to join the LHC injection chain
