  • September 4, 2024Accelerator Report: LHC Run 3 achieves record-breaking integrated luminosity
    Accelerator Report: LHC Run 3 achieves record-breaking integrated luminosity LHC Run 3 began in 2022, with the recommissioning of the LHC at 6.8 TeV, resulting in the delivery of 39.7 fb⁻¹ of integrated luminosity, surpassing initial expectations. Lu …
  • August 20, 2024Accelerator Report: 10 000 LHC fills!
    Accelerator Report: 10 000 LHC fills! LHC fill 10 000 during stable collisions for the experiments.(Image: CERN) Each LHC machine cycle is assigned a “fill number” to identify it uniquely. This fill number goes up by one for every new LHC cycle. Fill …
  • August 1, 2024Accelerator Report: Navigating hot summer days and thunderstorms
    Accelerator Report: Navigating hot summer days and thunderstorms Although summer weather has finally arrived and many have left or will soon leave for holidays, the accelerator complex has no intention of letting up. In fact, the summer is often a ve …
  • July 10, 2024Accelerator Report: No summer holidays for the accelerator complex
    Accelerator Report: No summer holidays for the accelerator complex Since the technical stop in June, Linac4 has been running quite smoothly, delivering beam to the PS Booster with good availability, of 98.7%. Despite a small water leak from the cooli …
  • June 27, 2024Accelerator Report: Technical stops always hold a few surprises
    Accelerator Report: Technical stops always hold a few surprises The LHC technical stop started on 10 June, and the injector complex’s technical stop two days later. These stops were scheduled to align with planned work on the Swiss electrical network …
  • June 27, 2024New beam dumps: cut along the dotted line
    New beam dumps: cut along the dotted line When particle beams circulating in the LHC need to be stopped, they are directed towards the beam dumps. In 2020, during Long Shutdown 2, the main LHC beam dumps, which had been in place in the accelerator fr …
  • June 12, 2024Accelerator Report: Setting the stage for a productive summer
    Accelerator Report: Setting the stage for a productive summer On 5 June, the first period of luminosity production at the LHC came to an end and we began our second machine development (MD) session. The MD studies continued until 10 June, when the la …
  • May 30, 2024Accelerator Report: Exploring potential performance increases
    Accelerator Report: Exploring potential performance increases Over the years, the teams responsible for the LHC proton injector chain (Linac 4, PS Booster, PS and SPS) have developed various production schemes for the LHC beam, pushed the performance …
