All CERN accelerators now on the road to HiLumi

CERN’s injector complex and Antimatter Factory took their final steps towards Long Shutdown 3 (LS3) this morning, as the last particle beams were extracted and the machines fell silent. This milestone follows the shutdown of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in June, which marked the beginning of LS3 for the Laboratory’s flagship accelerator. While the […]

All CERN accelerators now on the road to HiLumi

Today marks a significant milestone as all CERN accelerators gear up for the upcoming HiLumi era. The accelerator complex and Antimatter Factory have completed their final beam operations, signaling the end of Run 3 and the start of Long Shutdown 3 (LS3). This major upgrade phase will prepare the entire complex for the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi) era, which is set to begin with the HiLumi LHC's restart in mid-2030.
