The LHC experiment at CERN has started its data taking of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13.6 TeV (Run 3). This energy is the world's highest energy beyond Run 2.
Run 3 operation has been resumed operation after more than three years of upgrade work on both the accelerator and the particle detector. Our group has greatly contributed to the maintenance and upgrade of muon detectors and trigger system as members of the LHC-ATLAS collaboration.
The accelerator tuning will be continued further such that we will be able to double the current data statistics by the end of the Run 3. Our group will continue to take a lead in the detector operation to achieve the goal. Please look forward to future analysis results using the data obtained from the beam collisions at the world’s highest energy.
The exciting time of the first stable beam collision at 13.6 TeV was broadcasted live from the control rooms at CERN. You can also watch the fantastic moment through an archived video at this link. See the official CREN article for more details.
