Long Shutdown News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

A major upgrade of the collimation system of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) began during the first long shutdown of CERN’s accelerator complex (LS1, 2013–2015) and continued during LS2 (2019–2021), in preparation for the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). As its name suggests, the HL-LHC will surpass the LHC in terms of luminosity, i.e. the number of collisions that take place within the LHC experiments. The accelerator’s equipment therefore requires enhanced protection, which is where the collimation system comes in. What is a collimator? Collimators are movable blocks made of materials t...

The proposed MUonE experiment at CERN aims to provide an independent determination of hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.

The sixth plenary workshop of the Muon g-2 Theory Initiative covered the status and strategies for future improvements of the Standard Model prediction for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.

A technical design study for a new high-intensity physics programme at CERN’s North Area has been launched during the June session of the CERN Council.

Volker Lindenstruth goes behind the scenes of a completely new computing model that allows the ALICE collaboration to merge online and offline data processing into a single software framework.
