LHC - Long Shutdown 2019-22

Taking a closer look at LHC

Initially scheduled as Long Shutdown 2 (2019 - 2020) it had to be extended until late 2021-early 2022, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The programme originally followed the following schedule:


The LS2 upgrades to CERN accelerator chain


After more than three years of maintenance, consolidation and upgrades, the LHC The LHC is in its third major experimental phase (Run 3) which runs until the end of 2025.

Information on the most important work carried out in this extended Long Shutdown 2 can be found at the following link :
