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 ...

At CERN, our work helps to uncover what the universe is made of and how it works. We do this by providing a unique range of particle accelerator facilities to researchers, to advance the boundaries of ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to ...

At CERN, scientists from around the world explore the fundamental structure of the Universe. They use large and complex instruments to push the boundaries of human knowledge.

LS3 is set to be a busy period for CERN, with a wide range of activities taking place across the accelerators, experiments and buildings on the site – from construction, maintenance and upgrades, to ...
