The SPS gets ready to restart

Work continues apace to ready the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) for its planned October restart, while beams are already being delivered to experiments at the Proton Synchrotron (PS) and PS Booster.

First beam in Linac4 DTL

Work progresses on Linac4, the linear accelerator foreseen to take over from the current Linac2 as injector to the PS Booster. On 5 August, the first drift-tube linac (DTL) tank saw beams at 12 MeV
