Ten new magnets are already being connected

In autumn 2018 and spring 2019, new data-centre modules were installed and commissioned at the ALICE and LHCb sites (points 2 and 8 of the LHC)

Teams are hard at work in the LHC tunnel to improve the electrical insulation of the diodes of more than 1200 magnets

Work has begun to improve the electrical insulation of the diodes of the 1232 dipole magnets in the LHC

The energy extraction systems absorb the energy of the LHC magnets in case of a quench. Their consolidation is conducted in collaboration with two Russian institutes

All the links in the LHC’s cryogenic chain are being examined with a fine-tooth comb in order to detect and correct any issues

The installation and commissioning of the new facility is one of the biggest challenges of LS2 for the SPS team

During LS2, CMS will install 144 additional muon detector modules specially designed to detect particles produced in the very forward region

Not much more than the name will remain of the old East Area before too long. After LS2, the new PS experiment area will be a hub of technology

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 Antiproton Decelerator will see refurbishment work that will help its experiments to trap more antimatter than before
