Visit Linear Accelerator 2 (Linac 2), the starting point for the protons used in CERN's experiments. Here, you will learn how the machine creates protons in an ion source and accelerates them for further acceleration in other CERN machines.
Find out about the 86-metre-long linear accelerator that is scheduled to become the source of proton beams for the LHC from 2020, replacing the 37-metre-long Linear Accelerator 2 (Linac 2).
Discover the Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR), which receives long bunches of ions from Linear Accelerator 3 (Linac 3) and transforms them into short, dense bunches that are suitable for acceleration in the chain of accelerators that feeds the LHC.
Come here for all things magnetic: get explanations of measurements of the magnetic field of resistive magnets and see displays of magnetic measurement devices and magnetic phenomena.
Want to try welding components in virtual reality or measuring your height with a laser? Come and see how mechanical components for particle-physics experiments are created, from design to fabrication using state-of-the-art machines.
