De-squeezed beams for ALFA and TOTEM

Following tests in September, a short, dedicated run at the end of October provided "de-squeezed" beams to the ALFA and TOTEM experiments, allowing new measurements of the elastic proton–proton cros...

The three lives of DORIS: from charm quarks to cell biology

DESY’s pioneering and highly productive storage ring retires at the end of this year. Till Mundzeck looks back at almost 40 years of many contributions to a variety offields in science and technolog...

Accelerators, light sources and all that jazz

A report from IPAC’12 held in New Orleans.

Linac4 parts arrive from near and far

After a journey from Siberia of more than 13,000 km, a special delivery arrived at CERN on 14 September, bringing modules for Linac4, the new four-stage injector being built for the laboratory’s a...

Celebrations, challenges and business as usual

Champagne corks popped on 13 September as the LHC confirmed its potential as a multipurpose machine and successfully switched to a new running mode with proton–ion collisions.

Using the LHC as a photon collider

The protons and nuclei accelerated by the LHC are surrounded by strong electric and magnetic fields. These fields can be treated as an equivalent flux of photons, making the LHC the world’s most pow...

SLAC at 50: honouring the past and creating the future

Founded in 1962, the home of the famous linac went on to make ground-breaking discoveries in particle physics and to evolve in the face of a changing scientific landscape.
