The teams at CERN have made an important breakthrough to the existing plant today! The remaining excavation work for the extension of the particle accelerator "Large Hadron Colliders" will be completed by March 2020.
The 60 metre deep main shaft with a diameter of 12 metres has already been completed since the end of February. Starting from this shaft, the cavern and two of the four demanding connections to the existing facility have been excavated to date.
