Starting in June, the shutdown will make way for the high-luminosity LHC, a major upgrade that involves installing powerful new superconducting magnets to squeeze the collider’s proton beams and make them brighter. This will raise the number of collisions in the machine tenfold. The detectors are being strengthened too, making them better able to capture the subtle signs of new physics collisions can reveal. “It’s an incredibly exciting project,” Thomson says. “It’s more interesting than just sitting here with the machine hammering away.”
