The Fireball collaboration has used CERN’s HiRadMat facility to produce an analogue of the jets of matter and antimatter that stream out of some black holes and neutron stars

The LHC injector chain has been switched to a new beam production scheme to explore its potential to produce more collisions in the LHC and to compare its performance to that of the standard LHC beam

The LHC is performing well and the injector complex is treating its experimental users to a high level of beam availability

In about a week, lead ions will be sent from the SPS into the LHC to collide in the accelerator’s four big experiments

Following the winter shutdown, the injectors and accelerators are preparing for the 2023 data-taking season

The last LHC beam of 2022 was dumped in the early morning of Monday, 28 November; 17 weeks later, on Monday, 27 March 2023, we plan to inject the first beam of the year into the LHC

COVID-19 has undoubtedly had an impact on the activities and schedule of LS2. Nevertheless, the accelerators are now starting up again
