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

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has entered a four-year shutdown period to undergo its Long Shutdown 3 upgrade. This extensive overhaul will prepare the accelerator for its next phase, the High-Luminosity LHC, which aims to increase collision rates significantly. The upgrade is crucial for enabling more precise studies of fundamental particles, with operations slated to resume in 2030.
