The intensity ramp-up of the LHC beams resumed last Friday after the main powering system of the PS accelerator was put back in service

The LHC and its experiments are back in action, now taking physics data for 2016

The first low-intensity stable beams have been declared in the LHC following the restart in March 2016

As the LHC Physics conference gets underway in St Petersburg, it’s a good time to take stock of where things stand with run-2

After a week of preparations for operation at higher intensity, physics data collection has resumed at the LHC

One week of LHC operation is being devoted to scrubbing the beam pipes to eliminate electron clouds, which can destabilise the beam

The first planned technical stop of the LHC starts on Monday, with five days of maintenance work scheduled for the accelerator and its experiments

With ‘LHC Season 2’ starting soon, running at a new high energy, the LHC key is handed back to the machine operators today

Magnets in one sector of the accelerator are fully prepared for the restart at higher energies
