This year’s LHC proton run ended on 16 October, surpassing expectations with 11% more collisions than planned. Next up: the lead-ion run

On 23 September, the LHC reached its 2024 target for integrated luminosity. And then a cryogenic station broke down…

The physics run for the SPS North Area will start on 4 November, followed by the LHC lead-ion physics run on 6 November, and the PS East Area on 11 November

On Sunday, 1 September, the LHC integrated luminosity for Run 3 (2022–2025) equalled that of Run 2 (2015–2018)

CERN’s accelerators show very good availability rates: beams are in place

Restarting the entire accelerator complex after a technical stop is rarely seamless and often comes with unexpected technical challenges

We are optimistic that we will have a successful luminosity production period this summer

The LHC is performing well and the injector complex is treating its experimental users to a high level of beam availability

In the last two weeks, the LHC teams have encountered two main challenges that have led to some changes to the filling scheme

On Friday, 30 June, an exciting milestone was reached: the much-awaited antiproton physics season finally commenced

The AD operations team received on Friday, 1 June – 12 days earlier than rescheduled – the green light from the AD injection kicker expert: beam could be injected again in the AD ring

On 11 May, four days before the original schedule had set a target of 1200 bunches per beam, the LHC made its final intensity ramp-up step to 2400 bunches per beam
