The 2025 run was successfully completed on 8 December at 6.00 a.m., signalling the start of the year-end technical stop for the LHC and the injector complex
With only three weeks left until CERN’s annual closure, the end of the 2025 run is approaching fast. In less than two weeks, all the beams throughout the accelerator complex will be stopped
Although the much-appreciated winter break is well behind us and most of us are back at work, the accelerator complex is still in hibernation – but not for much longer
The LHC's third run has been extended until July 2026. The long technical stop that will follow will be extended by four months, postponing the start-up of the High-Luminosity LHC until June 2030
Dismantling a beam dump is a real conundrum – that’s what the 2020 “autopsy” concluded. To solve it, the new spare LHC beam dumps have been made easier to “cut”
