CERN Accelerating science

There are several new studies underway to assess the role that HTS can play in improving the performance of radio frequency systems of future particle accelerators

Experts convene at CERN to unveil groundbreaking applications for the Future Circular electron-positron Collider.

Following on from the success of previous editions, the EU-funded I.FAST project is set to host a new challenge-based innovation (CBI) event running between July 22 and July 31, 2025

An online session to showcase the possibilities of a future muon particle accelerator was attended by nearly 190 participants from 38 countries

Investment and scientific coordination is needed for the development of new thin film solutions for superconducting radio frequency cavities, with the current favoured material costing more per kilogram than silver

Progress accelerates toward the development of the world's first fully polarised Electron-Ion Collider

The 85 participants gained theoretical and hands-on experience of working on particle accelerator technologies

From prosthesis pain to severe burns, four student teams have set their minds to solving global healthcare issues in the I.FAST project’s third challenge based initiative

A newly established forum aims to better align the priorities of research institutions and industry, including in the particle accelerator area.

Laser-plasma technology, additive manufacturing, high-temperature superconductors and other innovations have strong potential to reduce the footprint of particle accelerators.
