Issue 52
September 2025
Welcome to the autumn edition of Accelerating News!
In this issue, we speak to companies involved in I.FAST to find out about the benefits of collaborating with large-scale research projects, from staying ahead of the market, to learning about the latest cutting-edge technologies, to networking with experts. Elsewhere, we do a deep dive into how the Particle Accelerator MasterClass project has been inspiring thousands of young people – particularly those from less privileged backgrounds – to get involved in physics over the past five years.
In a crossover between the detector and accelerator research worlds, we speak to Swiss technology innovation centre the Centre suisse d'électronique et de microtechnique (CSEM) about how 3D printing is playing an increasingly important role in the prototyping of scientific instruments.
Finally, we take a look at the successful completion of the LHC Injectors Upgrade at CERN, which in May this year achieved the important step of extracting a proton beam from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) – the final injector before the Large Hadron Collider – with the target intensity and emittance for the upgrade.
