Reviewing accelerator operations, supporting an increasingly diverse physics programme and preparing for the High-Luminosity LHC and beyond were key themes of this year’s Chamonix Workshop

The Chamonix Workshop is in full swing, and the initial outlines of the 2025 LHC configuration and operational scenarios are beginning to take shape

2025 will be a crucial year for CERN, with the work towards the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, the last full year of Run 3 and preparations for the HL-LHC era

Highlights from this year’s Chamonix workshop, including the crucial role that the injectors play in shaping future research endeavours

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

Frédérick Bordry gives an overview of the 2017 LHC performance workshop in Chamonix

The experiments' desiderata for the year included either discovery or exclusion of the Higgs boson

The first day of the LHC performance workshop was devoted to a critical review of 2011, with suggestions for improvements to the beams and hardware

The final day of the workshop saw examination of the challenges of the High-Luminosity LHC an a look at the state of R&D for the new magnets required
