    Today, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, comes to the end of an extraordinary chapter in its scientific journey. Following its final physics run, the accelerator has been switched off to begin CERN’s Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), a major programme of maintenance, consolidation, upgrades and installation work that will prepare the Laboratory for the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), the next phase in the exploration of the fundamental laws of nature.

    It’s getting an upgrade!

    What a title.

    I just visited CERN 2 days ago. They have a whole science center that helps explain the reason for the LHC and how everything works. If you are a science geek I highly recommend it.

      I visited CERN back in 2019 and whole heartedly agree! Amazing place and a lot bigger than you’d expect.
