CERN's Large Hadron Collider Enters Major Upgrade Phase

CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been switched off to commence Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), an extensive upgrade program. This period of maintenance and installation will continue until the end of the decade, preparing the accelerator complex for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HiLumi LHC), scheduled to begin operations in 2030, aiming for enhanced particle physics research.
