Bookmark or Share- Accelerators - CERNThe CERN accelerator complex accelerates protons, but also nuclei of ionized atoms (ions), such as the nuclei of lead, argon or xenon atoms. Some LHC runs are thus dedicated to lead-ion collisions. The ISOLDE facility accelerates beams of exotic nuclei for nuclear physics studies. The energy of a particle is measured in electronvolts.
- The Large Hadron Collider - CERNThe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the ...
- The Future Circular Collider - CERNThe FCC-ee would be the largest particle accelerator ever built, with its radio frequency cavities and magnet and cryogenic systems drawing the main power loads. The FCC-ee power consumption is expected to vary between 1 and 1.8 TWh/year depending on the machine’s operation mode.
- The accelerator complex - CERNIn the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – the last element in this chain – particle beams are accelerated up to the record energy of 6.8 TeV per beam. Linear accelerator 4 became the source of proton beams for the CERN accelerator complex in 2020.
- Large Hadron Collider reaches its first stable beams in 2024On Friday 5 April, at 6.25 p.m., the LHC Engineer-in-Charge at the CERN Control Centre (CCC) announced that stable beams were back in the Large Hadron Collider, marking the official start of the 2024 physics data-taking season. The third year of LHC Run 3 promises six months of 13.6 TeV proton collisions at an even higher luminosity than before, meaning more collisions for the experiments to ...
