From Run 3 to the next generation: following the transformation of the LHC experiments
From dismantling detector components to installing new technologies, the transition from Run 3 to the next generation of LHC experiments is a major scientific and engineering undertaking. We follow the teams behind this transformation, exploring the challenges inside the experimental caverns and the expertise across CERN’s EP Department that helps turn ambitious upgrade plans into…

Inside CMS’s LS3 decommissioning challenge
CMS has begun one of the most demanding interventions in its history: the carefully planned removal of around 600 m³ of legacy services. Empty racks and cable trays now reveal the first stage of the detector’s transformation for the High-Luminosity LHC.

Taking ATLAS apart to build its future
In the first weeks of Long Shutdown 3, ATLAS entered a decisive new phase. Over the next four years, the collaboration will dismantle major parts of the detector and install new tracking, timing, trigger and infrastructure systems for the High-Luminosity LHC. Its technical coordination team reveals the intricate planning, tension and unexpected joy behind this…

New Staff Members and Fellows
New Staff Members and Fellows Maximilian Babeluk Hi, I’m Max. I recently joined the ALICE ITS3 team, where I work on sensor testing, functional verification, and in the future also chip design – particularly on MOSAIX. My main activities include testing and yield assessment across multiple integration levels (wafer probing to system tests), including data

OLC-R / OLC-1 refurbishment in a Nutshell
OLC-R / OLC-1 refurbishment in a Nutshell For Phase-2, CMS DAQ will undergo a major increase of its capacities to match HL-LHC performance and the related CMS physics program. Compared to the present situation (Run3), the post-trigger data throughput will increase from 2 Tb/s today to 50 Tb/s for Run4 and the processing power needed
