Watch a timelapse video of the huge LHC detectors ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb preparing to start up again

Two years ago, CERN's accelerators and experiments shut down for maintenance, to prepare the LHC for running at 13 TeV

Recent publications from CMS use data from the LHC's first run to shed light on the properties of the Higgs boson

With ‘LHC Season 2’ starting soon, running at a new high energy, the LHC key is handed back to the machine operators today

The CERN cryogenics team are filling the LHC with liquid helium, cooling entire sections to below 4K

CERN teams are carrying out all required tests to get proton beams back in the LHC for March 2015

Magnets in one sector of the accelerator are fully prepared for the restart at higher energies

Weekend tests with beams brought protons just short of the LHC

The Open Data Portal makes data from real collision events at the LHC openly available to all

In CERN’s 60th year, the first proof of the existence of the Higgs boson earns a Guinness World Record for CERN, ATLAS and CMS

A team is on call 24 hours a day to monitor technical systems and quickly respond to alerts across CERN's accelerator complex

Physicists from across the globe bring a welcome richness to the LHC experiments, says former ATLAS spokesperson Peter Jenni
