CERN teams successfully complete the first major transport operation of LS3. A 77-tonne shielding component, known as the JFSU, moves from the surface hall above the ATLAS experiment to Building 191 on CERN’s main site.
After more than a decade of service, one of the LHC’s key components for guiding particle beams through the ATLAS experiment has been removed, making way for the High-Luminosity LHC era.
A major relocation campaign has been launched to dismantle one of the ATLAS experiment’s key computing systems and transport it from LHC Point 1 to its new home at LHC Point 8, the site of the LHCb experiment.
