LHC

Tending to a giant

In a race against the clock, CERN engineers and technicians pulled together to find and fix a leak inside the Large Hadron Collider.

Cabling for LHC upgrade wraps up

Berkeley Lab completed winding more than 2000 kilometers of superconducting wire into cables for new magnets that will help upgrade the Large Hadron Collider. These cables will be used to make the strongest focusing magnets installed in any accelerator by condensing particle beams right before they collide in detectors.
