Large Hadron Collider Begins Four-Year Upgrade Period

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has commenced its Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), a four-year program dedicated to extensive maintenance and upgrades. This significant undertaking aims to transform the LHC into the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), which will dramatically increase its data-gathering capabilities. The upgrade is expected to facilitate new discoveries in fundamental physics.
