The LHC has ventured into unchartered territory for Particle Physics accelerators. A dedicated consolidation program is required between 2013 and 2014 to ensure optimal physics performance. The experiments, ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb, will utilise this shutdown, along with the gained experience of three years of physics running, to make optimisations to the detectors. New vacuum technologies have been developed for the experimental areas, to be integrated during this first phase shutdown. These technologies include bellows, vacuum chambers and ion pumps in aluminium, new beryllium vacuum chambers, and composite mechanical supports. An overview of this first phase consolidation program for the LHC experiments is presented.

The Extra Low ENergy Antiproton ring (ELENA) project started in June 2011 and is aimed at substantially increasing the number of antiprotons delivered to the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) physics community. ELENA will be a small machine that receives antiprotons from AD at 5.3 MeV kinetic energy and decelerates them further down to 100 keV. It will be equipped with an electron cooler to avoid beam losses during deceleration and to reduce beam phase space at extraction. Design work is progressing with emphasis on machine parameters and design as well as infrastructure, ring, transfer lines and vital subsystem design.
