Lead-ion physics at the LHC and the SPS North Area is already under way and progressing well. The final lead-ion user in the PS East Area started its physics run on 13 November
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
The experiment’s preliminary results explore the production cross section of the antiproton, which may provide physicists with clues in the search for dark matter
Since the last Accelerator Report, lead-ion beams have been successfully provided to the SPS North Area, in particular to the NA61 experiment, which is their principal user
The NA61 experiment at CERN, also known as SHINE, has made new measurements that will help physicists work out the content of neutrino beams used in experiments in the US
