The LHC operations team and many other experts have been working hard to set up and validate the accelerator for safe beam operation, leading to the first stable beams for physics of 2025 on 5 May
The first beam-based physics of 2025 has started and more will follow soon. However, some unexpected challenges will cause a small delay in the restart of the LHC
Another important milestone was achieved in the LHC beam commissioning: on 21 April, the LHC Engineer in Charge declared “stable beams” at 6.8 TeV, the first time in 2023
