The March/April 2026 issue of the CERN Courier is out
A hadron collider’s energy reach is defined by the circumference of its tunnel and the strength of its dipole magnets. Next-generation hadron colliders look set to have tunnels more than three times longer than the LHC. Further expansion of the energy frontier depends on the ability of accelerator physicists to increase the strength of the

Crystal shadowing to reduce beam losses
A new system made of precisely aligned thin, bent crystal arrays will greatly improve particle beams sent to fixed-target experiments in CERN’s North Area, while also protecting sensitive equipment
