PS has beam ahead of schedule

Protons are circulating again in the PS after the winter shut-down: Saturday morning at 2:14, a few days ahead on the official schedule, the PS received its first beam of protons of the year just a few days after the LINAC 2 and the PS Booster.

After having been partially refurbished, the injector chain is performing well and the non-LHC physics programme is progressively restarting. The next in the chain is the SPS, expected to re-start in the week after Easter.
