Meeting of scientists and engineers from around the world marks end of design phase for High-Luminosity project to upgrade the Large Hadron Collider

The HiRadMat facility is using SPS beams to test materials and components in extreme conditions

This week saw the cost and schedule of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) projects come under close scrutiny

Work continues apace for the high-luminosity upgrade for the LHC 10 years from now

During 2015, the International Year of Light, CERN is highlighting the High Luminosity LHC project and CERN’s involvement in the SESAME laboratory

Applications now open for beam time requests at the HiRadMat facility at CERN SPS

A first baseline for the layout of the High Luminosity inner triplet and associated magnets has recently been defined

Work is progressing on new technologies that would under pin an upgrade of the LHC in 10 year’s time

CERN is working together with an Italian company to develop superconducting cables that can function at temperatures of up to 25 K (-248°C)

A CERN-Fermilab team has developed a new magnet that will be a valuable asset to the HL-LHC, the next step of for LHC machine

The final day of the workshop saw examination of the challenges of the High-Luminosity LHC an a look at the state of R&D for the new magnets required
