High-gradient X-band technology: from TeV colliders to light sources and more
Powerfult linear-accelerator technology developed for fundamental exploration is being transferred to applications beyond high-energy physics
CLIC workshop focuses on strategy
This year the CLIC workshop focused on preparations for the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics in 2019–2020.
Physics fest for a future circular collider
Second Future Circular Collider (FCC) physics workshop held at CERN
LHC prepares for final year of Run 2
Since 4 December, around 500 technicians and engineers have been working flat-out to maintain and upgrade the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and other parts of the CERN accelerator complex. The current y...
Small accelerator promises big returns
The CBETA multi-turn energy-recovery linac aims to combine the best of linear and circular accelerators
International committee backs 250 GeV ILC
That is half the energy set out five years ago in the ILC’s technical design report (TDR), shortening the length of the previous design (31 km) by around a third and slashing its cost by up to 40%.
SESAME sees first light
At 10.50 a.m. on 22 November 2017, the third-generation light source SESAME in Jordan produced its first X-ray photons, signalling the start of the regional laboratory’s experimental program. Resea...

CERN's newest accelerator is soon to join the LHC injection chain
Exploring the physics case for a very-high-energy electron–proton collider
Rapid progress is being made in novel acceleration techniques.
The twists and turns of a successful year for the LHC
On 11 December, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is scheduled to complete its 2017 proton-physics run and go into standby for its winter shutdown and maintenance programme. With the LHC having surpasse...
