CERN's Large Hadron Collider Enters Four-Year Upgrade Period

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has begun its third long shutdown, a four-year phase dedicated to extensive maintenance and significant upgrades. This period will transform the facility into the High-Luminosity LHC, aiming to substantially increase its collision capacity. The upgrade is expected to advance research into fundamental physics questions, such as the nature of dark matter.
