@CERN From developing innovative accelerators for Hadron Therapy centres to #AI for self-driving cars, read more about Knowledge Transfer on our instagram (https://t.co/xygvxd1C1L) and on the Knowledge Transfer website (https://t.co/Azg0kCtdJU)! (2/2)

[LHCb UK @LHCb_UK]

Today we hosted Amanda Fernandez for an #LHCbUK seminar on #CERN Knowledge Transfer, showcasing how technology initially developed at @CERN has been used in applications around the world! (1/2)

#LHCRun3 has officially begun! 🥳

There are now stable beams in the world's most powerful particle accelerator, with collisions at the highest energy ever achieved of 13.6 TeV.

After the long upgrade, the LHC is now ready for data collection and possible new physics! 🎉

[LHCb UK @LHCb_UK]

Special event for CERN and the LHCb this afternoon!

At 16:00 CEST CERN are live streaming the first collisions of Run 3 of the LHC, at 13.6 TeV

Join us to experience this event alongside our #lhcbuk colleagues

Yesterday evening 21:11 o'clock,
after 8 hours ago installation of the @LHCbExperiment upgrade A-side VELO started, the vacuum was closed (🔊 on)

[Tara Shears @TaraShears]

This detector might not be big, but without it @LHCbExperiment physics would not be possible. It's the upgraded VELO detector, product of years of work by many people in many institutes. It's faster, more precise, and will soon be ready for #Run3!

[LHCb UK @LHCb_UK]

The installation of the new @LHCbExperiment Vertex Locator started today! To find out more, check out our latest Instagram post, featuring two UK students at CERN #restartingLHC #UKatCERN

Today the two #LHC pilot beams of protons were accelerated, for the first time, to the record energy of 6.8 TeV per beam. 🎉

After #restartingLHC, this operation is part of the activities to recommission the machine in preparation of #LHCRun3, planned for the summer of 2022.

[LHCb UK @LHCb_UK]

We have posted the first of our #LHCb UK Student profiles to Instagram today featuring the designer of our new logo @richyrhubarb!

Richard is a first year PhD student at @Cambridge_Uni as well as the Publicity Officer for @chaosscience!

[LHCb UK @LHCb_UK]

Today the #LHC began injecting beams ready for Run III, meaning operations have begun at the @LHCbExperiment with Anja taking one of the first shifts!

📣 Beam in the accelerator!

After over three years of intense upgrade work, we are #restartingLHC.

Two beams of #protons are now circulating in opposite directions around the Large Hadron Collider, expecting to reach the record energy of 13.6 TeV in the summer of 2022.

[Science and Technology Facilities Council @STFC_Matters]

We’re delighted to hear that the LHC restart has been a success. 👏

It is a privilege to be involved in the funding and research of such an amazing scientific project, and we look forward to the findings of the next research cycle.
