Following the winter shutdown, the injectors and accelerators are preparing for the 2023 data-taking season

The last LHC beam of 2022 was dumped in the early morning of Monday, 28 November; 17 weeks later, on Monday, 27 March 2023, we plan to inject the first beam of the year into the LHC

COVID-19 has undoubtedly had an impact on the activities and schedule of LS2. Nevertheless, the accelerators are now starting up again

Linac 4 has taken over from the retired Linac 2 as the first accelerator in the LHC injection chain

It’s the end of Long Shutdown 2 for the PS Booster, the first accelerator to be recommissioned, alongside Linac 4

During a two-month test run that started at the end of September, Linac4 will send negative hydrogen ions up to the door of the PS Booster

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

New septum magnets will send the beam to the four rings of the PS Booster after the Long Shutdown 2
