Accelerator Report: LHC protons outpacing the Easter tradition
Accelerator Report: LHC protons outpacing the Easter tradition The LHC has restarted and both beams have been circulating in the machine since 8 April, meaning that the start of the LHC beam commissioning during Easter is apparently not a constant of nature. By Rende Steerenberg I concluded my previous Accelerator Report with: “…if the two-week delay holds, the…

Accelerator Report: Recommissioning on track as the first beams progress through the complex
Accelerator Report: Recommissioning on track as the first beams progress through the complex The recommissioning of the accelerators is progressing according to schedule. Unsurprisingly, some issues have arisen, but they have been swiftly addressed by equipment experts. First physics in the PS East Area and n_TOF is scheduled to start next week. By Rende Steerenberg…
