CERN Accelerating science

Since its construction in 2011, HiRadMat has been a unique experimental facility for testing materials under beam impact.

World first: Fraunhofer IWS, together with CERN, RTU and PoliMi, for the very first time prints quadrupole components for linear accelerators

The North Area, part of the Super Proton Synchrotron complex, will see a major two-phased facelift in the upcoming years

During LS2, 16 new collimators have been installed in the LHC ready for the next run and above all for the future HL-LHC

Lucio Rossi, coordinator of the HL-LHC project until July 2020, tells us about a new community-building intiative of INFN.

This summer, the 2021 Future Circular Collider (FCC) Week took place online and attracted more than 700 participants. At the same time, the Collider Diaries follow 5 scientists and engineers who contributed to its superconducting a

Within the EASITrain project, thallium-based superconducting thin films for the Future Circular Collider beam screen have been fabricated. Their capability proven, a new project has been started to understanding the actual feasibility of the coating.

The EU-supported project I.FAST announced a traineeship programme to support knowledge transfer of new component technologies between laboratories and industry.

In Spring 2021, the 9th workshop dedicated to vacuum arcs MeVArc took place online – it aims at better understanding how electric discharges occur in vacuum.

Additive manufacturing is at the heart of industry 4.0. Recognising its potential, the I.FAST project, funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 program, has the objective of promoting it within the advanced accelerator technologies.
