CERN celebrates completion of Linac 4, its brand new linear particle accelerator

May 09, 2017, at 10:03 pm

Geneva, May 9 (IBNS): At a ceremony on Tuesday, CERN inaugurated its linear accelerator, Linac 4, the newest accelerator acquisition since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Linac 4 is due to feed the CERN accelerator complex with particle beams of higher energy, which will allow the LHC to reach higher luminosity by 2021.
