All CERN accelerators now on the road to HiLumi
CERN's accelerator complex and Antimatter Factory have concluded their third run, initiating Long Shutdown 3 (LS3) for extensive maintenance and upgrades in preparation for the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC) era. Operations are expected to resume progressively from 2028, with the HiLumi LHC scheduled for restart in mid-2030.
Why it matters
This major upgrade at CERN is crucial for advancing particle physics research, enabling scientists to gather more precise data and explore new phenomena, pushing the boundaries of human understanding of the universe.
The accelerator complex and Antimatter Factory delivered their last beams, marking the end of the third run and the start of major upgrade work to prepare for the HiLumi era
