A new safety system will bring the standard of personnel radiation protection at the PS into line with that of the LHC
Superconductivity leads the way to high luminosity
Work is progressing on new technologies that would under pin an upgrade of the LHC in 10 year’s time
Lasers take physicists back to school
The First International School on Laser Applications at Accelerators at GANIL in France brought together laser- and accelerator physicists
Testing begins on Linear accelerator 4
Linac 4 has begun testing its RFQ module. This is the first stage of testing for the Linac 2 successor
Next-generation magnets: Small, but powerful
A CERN-Fermilab team has developed a new magnet that will be a valuable asset to the HL-LHC, the next step of for LHC machine
Warmer amps for the LHC
CERN is working together with an Italian company to develop superconducting cables that can function at temperatures of up to 25 K (-248°C)
Magnets for the High Luminosity LHC: Small but powerful

Laser acceleration, now with added fibre
Lasers consume too much power and can't sustain accelerating particles long enough to produce collisions. ICAN hopes to change all that
Taking the measure of the kilogram
Forget the new diet - you may weigh less in the morning anyway, thanks to an overhaul of the kilogram
Vacuum team race against time to fix LHC component
On 17 January the Vacuums, Surfaces and Coatings (VSC) Group had exactly one hour to extract and fix a faulty 2-metre section of the LHC's vacuum
