CERN’s accelerator complex is gradually restarting, more than a year after the start of the first long shutdown (LS1). On 4 April, a team switched on the proton source and a week later re-c...
With more than 2000 equations, 300 illustrations and 500 graphs and tables, it is intended as a vade mecum for professional engineers and physicists engaged in the design and operation of modern ac...
When the shift crew in the CERN Control Centre extracted the beams from the LHC on 14 February last year, it marked the beginning of the first long shutdown, LS1, not only for the LHC but for all of ...
The field of laser-induced relativistic plasmas and, in particular, laser-driven particle acceleration, has undergone impressive progress in recent years.
Elaborate alterations to the Schwerionensynchrotron (SIS) – the heavy-ion synchrotron at GSI – have finished after one year’s work.
Neutrons are a common by-product of particle-accelerator operations.
On 14 November, a beam of negative hydrogen ions was successfully accelerated for the first time to 3 MeV in Linac4.
When the CERN Council approved the updated European Strategy for Particle Physics at a special meeting in Brussels last May, it recognized the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project as the top priority ...
