CERN Accelerating science

New electron accelerator concept combines laser-driven and particle-driven plasma techniques.

EU-funded AVA project provided excellent framework for world-class antimatter research and pioneered new ways of training early career researchers

11 new research infrastructures of high strategic importance to be included in important strategic roadmap were announced on 30 June 2021

Uppsala University is upgrading its FREIA Laboratory, initially constructed for the ESS project, to test superconducting magnets and crab cavities for the HL-LHC

The study, conducted at CERN’s CLEAR test facility, demonstrates how very high-energy electron beams can be focused onto deep-seated cancerous tumours

Registration is open until 18 August for the CERN Accelerator School’s course “Introduction to Accelerator Physics”, 25 September - 8 October 2021, Chavannes de Bogis

35 niobium–tin superconducting coils have been manufactured as part of a fruitful collaboration with the company General Electric. They will be used in the 11 T dipoles for the HL-LHC.

The 12th Workshop on Accelerators Operation will be held virtually from October 5th to Oct 8th, 2021, organized by the ALBA Synchrotron (Barcelona, Spain).

The virtual workshop “Storage Rings and Gravitational Waves” (SRGW2021) shed new light on whether accelerators can be used for the detection or generation of Gravitational Waves.

Last February, the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) team working on technical developments organised a workshop on all the different technologies developed for producing, handling, and preserving nanobeams and ultra-short bunches.
