In October, for the first time, crystal collimators were used to improve the performance of the beam cleaning process at the LHC during a physics run

After 40 years of service, the linear accelerator has shut down and passed the baton to Linac4, which will take over as the first link in the accelerator chain

The experiment successfully accelerated electrons with plasma wakefields generated by protons, a world first

Proton beams from the SPS at CERN were used to generate plasma waves upon which the electrons “surfed”
