CERN's Large Hadron Collider Shuts Down for Four-Year Upgrade to Increase Collision Rates
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, known for discovering the Higgs boson or 'God Particle,' has been shut down for a four-year upgrade until 2030. This Long Shutdown 3 will enhance the collider's luminosity by a factor of 10, increasing particle collision rates with upgraded magnets and technologies. Renamed the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), the facility aims to enable new scientific discoveries by producing more particle collisions within its 27-kilometre underground ring near Geneva.
