A major milestone has been reached in the construction of the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk), with the installation of the first nine production ‘petals’ of the ITk Strips Endcap at DESY in Germany.

CERN teams successfully complete the first major transport operation of LS3. A 77-tonne shielding component, known as the JFSU, moves from the surface hall above the ATLAS experiment to Building 191 on CERN’s main site.

After more than a decade of service, one of the LHC’s key components for guiding particle beams through the ATLAS experiment has been removed, making way for the High-Luminosity LHC era.

A major relocation campaign has been launched to dismantle one of the ATLAS experiment’s key computing systems and transport it from LHC Point 1 to its new home at LHC Point 8, the site of the LHCb experiment.
