Description

In 2025, lead-ion (Pb-ion) physics was performed at multiple CERN experimental facilities, including East and North Experimental Areas, and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. Success of this extensive program depended on the reliable operation of the full Pb-ion injector chain, comprising LINAC3, LEIR, the PS, and the SPS. Throughout the 2025 run, the injector complex demonstrated excellent operational stability and delivered beams with high intensity and reproducibility. The high beam quality achieved in the injectors was a key factor in the achievements of the LHC Pb-ion program. This contribution provides an overview of the key operational results, performance metrics, and improvements implemented across the injector chain during the 2025 Pb-ion run.
