AD
TheAntiproton Decelerator (AD) is a unique machine that produces low-energy antiprotons for studies of antimatter, and “creates” antiatoms.

SPS
SPS The Super Proton Synchrotron is the second-largest machine in CERN’s accelerator complex provides a stepping stone between the Proton Synchrotron and the LHC Super Proton Synchrotron

PS
PS A key component of CERN’s accelerator complex, it most often accelerates protons supplied by The Synchrotron Proton Booster or heavy ions from the LEIR. Throughout its history, the PS has juggled with particles of all kinds, either to inject the beams directly in experiments, or for more powerful accelerators. Read more Proton Synchrotron

BOOSTER
BOOSTER The Proton Synchrotron Booster consists of four overlapping synchrotron rings that receive beams of negative hydrogen ions (H-ions, i.e., a hydrogen atom and an additional electron) from Linac4 with an energy of 160 MeV. Read more

LEIR
LEIR The LEIR separates each of the long lead ion pulses received from Linac3 into four shorter packages. It takes about 2.5 seconds for the LEIR to speed up packets, in groups of two, from 4.2 MeV to 72 MeV. The ions then have the energy required to be sent to the Proton Synchrotron (PS).

LINAC4
LINAC4 Linear Accelerator 4 is designed to carry negative hydrogen ions to high energies. It became the proton beam source for the LHC in 2020. Linac4 carries negative hydrogen ions (H-ions, a hydrogen atom and an additional electron) at the energy of 160 MeV before transmitting them to the Synchrotron Proton Booster, which is part

LINAC3
LINAC3 Linear accelerator 3 is the starting point for the ions used in the experiments conducted at CERN. It supplies lead ions to the LHC and fixed target experiments. It injects lead ions into the LEIR, which prepares them for injection into the LHC. Read more LINear ACcelerator 3

HL-LHC
HL-LHC The HL-LHC aims to crank up the performance of the LHC in order to increase the potential for discoveries after 2027. The objective is to increase luminosity by a factor of 10 beyond the LHC’s design value. Read more High Luminosity-Large Hadron Collider

LHC
LHC The world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. Read more Large
