LIVE Teaser 11 June | LHC Season Finale, up Next…

Why It Matters

The pause and upgrade to the High-Luminosity LHC represents a pivotal investment in particle-physics capability, promising higher data yields that could accelerate discoveries and refine fundamental physics models. For CERN and the global research community, it shifts the experimental focus from current runs to a more powerful facility that will shape research priorities for decades.

Summary

CERN is preparing for the season finale of the Large Hadron Collider’s third run, marking the final collisions before the accelerator is shut down for a major upgrade. The LHC, situated 100 meters underground on the France–Switzerland border and famed for the 2012 Higgs boson discovery, has been accelerating protons and heavier ions to probe particle physics and early-universe conditions. The live event on June 11 will offer behind-the-scenes access to operations at the CERN Control Centre and preview the transition to the High-Luminosity LHC. The upgrade aims to boost collision rates and enable deeper searches for new particles and phenomena.

Original Description

Join scientists, live from the CERN Control Centre, as the Large Hadron Collider (#LHC) delivers its last collisions to its experiments before it is transformed into a high luminosity machine. #HiLumiLHC

Host Davide De Biasio will guide you through the journey of the world’s most powerful particle collider, through conversations with the Head of LHC Operations, the Director for Accelerators, and the Director for Research and Computing.

Physicists from @ATLASexperiment, @CMSexperiment, @LHCbexperiment and @ALICEexperiment will also join from their control rooms to share highlights from the past four years of physics.
