Description
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) run in 2025 was the last long production year of LHC Run 3 (2022 to 2026). To mitigate potential radiation damage to magnets installed in the low-beta sections due to the integrated radiation dose near the high luminosity experiments, a flat optics was used for the first time in beam operation, underlying the adaptability of the LHC. A record production of 125 fb$^{-1}$ was achieved in 2025 despite vacuum component non-conformities leading to intensity limitations in one of the beams during part of the year. The integrated luminosity collected by each of the two high luminosity experiments since the startup of the LHC now exceeds 500 fb$^{-1}$. This paper presents the configuration, operational strategies and beam parameters of the LHC in 2025 which led to another record year.
