This phase, known as “Long Shutdown 3” or “LS3”, is expected to last up to four years and will involve thousands of experts across CERN’s sites and tunnels. The work will cover civil engineering, ...

The LHC is currently shut down. Teams will now dismantle 1.2 kilometres of the accelerator to install the new HiLumi LHC equipment. This will be connected to the equipment installed in the new HiLumi ...

There’s more to CERN than the Large Hadron Collider. A series of accelerators work together to push particles to nearly the speed of light The accelerator complex at CERN is a succession of machines ...
