cern sps schedule 2022

When will the Isolde and PS-SPS experiments restart?

The rest of CERN’s accelerator complex will restart gradually from December 2020 onwards. The various ISOLDE experiments and the experiments at the PS-SPS complex will therefore be able to start data taking as of summer 2021.

Will there be any changes to the schedule after 2022?

No changes have been made to the schedule beyond 2022. Provided that ATLAS completes its upgrades during LS2, the 2023/2024 YETS will be a normal shutdown. LS3 will start at the beginning of 2025.

How do I maintain my tools and workstations at CERN?

Tools, workstations and CERN vehicles must be cleaned regularly by the person who uses them, in accordance with the instructions provided. PPE (mask, protective face visor, gloves) must be worn and the applicable work procedures and instructions for use must be followed.

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.

When will the SPS close?

Closure of the SPS: 4 December 2020. Closure of the LHC: 19 February 2021. Closure of LEIR: 21 May 2021. Between now and the end of 2020, seven of the LHC’s eight sectors will be cooled down. Electrical quality tests, powering tests and a long campaign of quench training for the magnets will follow.

Why is CERN putting safety measures in place?

Special health and safety measures have been put in place at CERN to help in the fight against COVID-19 (see full details on the HSE unit website ).

How far apart must physical distancing be observed?

Physical distancing of at least two metres must be observed.

When will run 3 of the LHC start?

To allow them to complete their upgrade programmes, Run 3 of the LHC will therefore start in March 2022, provided that the current plan, which includes the installation of the second small wheel of ATLAS, is confirmed. If this is not the case, physics running will instead be brought forward to November 2021. “Initially, ATLAS had planned to install its second small wheel during the 2021-2022 year-end technical stop (YETS),” recalls José Miguel Jiménez, head of CERN’s Technology department. “But, under the new schedule, it might be possible – if the assembly process proceeds without any issues – to install it during LS2.” The schedule will be confirmed by the ATLAS collaboration in November.

When will the LHC test be done in 2021?

A week of tests with low intensity beams will take place at the LHC at the end of September 2021.

When will physics run in 2021?

If this is not the case, physics running will instead be brought forward to November 2021 . “Initially, ATLAS had planned to install its second small wheel during the 2021-2022 year-end technical stop (YETS),” recalls José Miguel Jiménez, head of CERN’s Technology department.

When will the LHC restart?

As a result of the shutdown caused by the COVID-19 crisis, the injectors will restart at the end of the year and the LHC will restart in autumn 2021
