CERN's Large Hadron Collider Begins Major Upgrade for High-Luminosity Era

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has commenced its third long shutdown to undergo a significant upgrade. This extensive overhaul, including detector rebuilding and magnet enhancements, aims to boost the collider's luminosity tenfold. The improvements are designed to facilitate the collection of vast datasets for advanced studies of the Higgs boson and the exploration of new physics, with operations expected to resume in 2030.
