CERN Initiates Four-Year Upgrade for Large Hadron Collider

CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has entered its Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), a four-year period dedicated to extensive maintenance and upgrades. This transformation will convert the LHC into the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), aiming to increase particle collision rates tenfold. This enhancement will provide significantly more data, enabling physicists to explore fundamental particles with greater precision.
