High-power linac shows promise for accelerator-driven reactors

China's superconducting proton accelerator is designed to drive a future subcritical reactor for nuclear-energy generation.

ILC: beyond the Higgs

The International Linear Collider is the most technologically established Higgs-factory proposal.

Discovery machines

50 years ago CERN’s Intersecting Storage Rings set in motion a series of hadron colliders charting nature at the highest possible energies.

FCC-ee: beyond a Higgs factory

A 100 km tunnel hosting a circular electron–positron Higgs and electroweak factory would pave the way for an energy-frontier hadron collider.

CLIC: beyond a Higgs factory

The proposed Compact Linear Collider offers a Higgs factory with top-quark production in its initial stage.

Applying a thin superconducting film to RF cavities

Horizon event for FCC innovators

The Future Circular Collider workshop combined the fourth FCC physics week with the kick-off event for the EU-funded Horizon 2020 FCC Innovation Study.

HL-LHC magnets enter production in the US

Brookhaven National Laboratory has successfully tested a second Nb₃Sn quadrupole, marking the end of the prototyping phase for the HL-LHC quadrupoles.
