CERN Begins Disconnecting Large Hadron Collider for High-Luminosity Upgrade

CERN has initiated the process of disconnecting the Large Hadron Collider to replace some of its most important magnets as part of the High-Luminosity upgrade. This maintenance work involves installing new superconducting magnets designed to produce fields approximately 40% stronger than their predecessors.

These enhanced magnets will enable particle beams to be squeezed more tightly before they collide, a condition that should result in a significantly higher number of collisions for the ATLAS and CMS experiments to analyze. This increase in collision data will provide physicists with a broader perspective on the fundamental workings of the universe.
