Looking beyond the LHC

A CERN Theory Institute investigated the impact of early LHC data.

US industry-built ILC cavity reaches 41 MV/m

For the first time, a US-industry-made superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavity has reached and exceeded the accelerating gradient required for the envisioned International Linear Collider (ILC).

First ions for ALICE and rings for LHCb

Injection tests on 25–29 September delivered heavy ions for the first time to the threshold of the LHC. Particles were extracted from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and transported along the TI...

…while the LHC gets colder and colder

The cool-down and commissioning of the LHC continues to progress well.

A night to remember

In an article from the archives, Hildred Blewett recalls the start-up of the Proton Synchrotron.
