LHC Run 3: the final countdown – CERN Courier
Meanwhile, preparations for some of the protons’ final destination, the LHC, are under way. Powering tests and magnet training in the last of the LHC’s eight sectors are scheduled to start in the week of 28 February and to last for four weeks, after which the TI12 and TI18 transfer tunnels and the LHC experiments will be closed and machine checkout will begin.

A new schedule for the LHC and its successor | CERN
The CERN Management has presented a new calendar for future accelerator runs to the Council, which met on 12 December. Under the new schedule, the LHC will restart in May 2021, two months after the initially planned date, and Run 3 will be extended by one year, until the end of 2024. All of the equipment needed for the High-Luminosity LHC, the LHC’s successor, and its experiments will be ...
HL-LHC LSS1 & LSS5 Planning for LS3 - Indico

When will LS3 start?
In 2019 the decision was taken to extend Run 3 by a year and for LS3 to start in 2025. Impact of coronavirus pandemic reflected in the extended hardware commissioning and magnet training foreseen for 2021.
How long is an LHC ion run?
LHC ions runs are 28 days - nominally 4 days set-up, 24 days physics (whether p-p reference runs go in there as well is always open to debate). Availability and efficiency tends to be good during ions runs but fills are short. ML - last update Jan 16.
When will the LHC start testing?
The new schedule for LS2 anticipates that the first test beams will circulate in the LHC at the end of September 2021, four months later than the date planned before the COVID-19 crisis. To give the LHC’s main experiments – ATLAS, CMS, ALICE and LHCb – time to complete their own upgrade programmes, Run 3 of the LHC will begin at the start of March 2022.
When will the 3rd LHC shutdown end?
No changes have been made to the schedule beyond 2022. The third long shutdown (LS3) will begin at the start of 2025 and end in mid-2027. This is when the equipment for the HL-LHC and its experiments will be installed. The HL-LHC will generate 10 times as many collisions as its predecessor! This will allow physicists to study known mechanisms, such as the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism, in detail, and to observe possible very rare new phenomena. Accordingly, the upgrades to the LHC experiments will give them considerable potential for discovery.
When will the LHC be cold?
The whole machine should be “cold” by spring 2021.
