ILC-type cryomodule makes the grade

For the first time, the gradient specification of the International Linear Collider (ILC) design study of 31.5 MV/m has been achieved on average across an entire ILC-type cryomodule made of ILC-grade...

RHIC’s new gold record

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory completed its 14th physics run in July, during which gold-ion beams were brought into collision at both low (7.3 GeV/nucl...

Accelerator Physics at the Tevatron Collider

Frank Zimmermann reviews in 2014 Accelerator Physics at the Tevatron Collider.

Reviews of Accelerator Science and Technology: Volume 6 – Accelerators for High Intensity Beams

As particle accelerators strive for ever-increasing performance, high-intensity particle beams are becoming one of the critical demands from a majority of users – whether for proton, electron or ion...

SESAME boosts electrons to 800 MeV

fter having successfully stored electrons in the Booster-Synchrotron in July, the SESAME team succeeded in accelerating electrons to their final energy of 800 MeV.

Beams back at the Antiproton Decelerator

Antiprotons returned to CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator (AD) on 5 August and experiments have been receiving beams since mid-September, following an intensive consolidation programme during the first...

Nanotube cathode promises intense electron beam

It looks like a small black button, but in tests at Fermilab’s High-Brightness Electron Source Lab it has produced beam currents greater than those generated with a large laser system.

An excellent start for the FCC collaboration

On 9–10 September, representatives of about 70 institutes worldwide met at CERN to establish the International Collaboration Board (ICB) at the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study.
