HL-LHC magnet endurance test further confirms niobium–tin’s resilience
A full-size, US-produced HL-LHC quadrupole magnet based on niobium–tin technology has passed a critical endurance test, another step towards confirming the technology’s viability inside accelerators
Autopsy of an LHC beam dump
For the first time at CERN, an autopsy has been carried out on a radioactive beam dump. Inspection of the inner workings of the device helped the teams to find out more about how materials behave under the impact of high-energy beams
What will the future LHC beam dumps be made of?
A new experiment has been performed at the HiRadMat facility to test various materials that could be used in the LHC and HL-LHC beam dumps
The SPS beam dump
On 7 March, beams were circulated in the SPS for the first time this year. In this article, we reflect on the successful commissioning of the accelerator’s new beam dump
Large Hadron Collider restarts
Beams of protons are again circulating around the collider’s 27-kilometre ring, marking the end of a multiple-year hiatus for upgrade work
Accelerators for the environment: Announcing I.FAST's 2022 Challenge-Based Innovation programme
Students can now apply to the I.FAST project's programme, which will challenge participants to find new and innovative societal applications for accelerators
The North Area is getting a fresh look
The North Area, part of the Super Proton Synchrotron complex, will see a major two-phased facelift in the upcoming years
LS2 Report: The new LHC collimators
During LS2, 16 new collimators have been installed in the LHC ready for the next run and above all for the future HL-LHC
How to train your magnets
Magnet training for the LHC circuits will be completed by the end of the year
LS2 Report: Accelerated beams in the SPS
The SPS accelerated its first LHC-type beam in May and is now sending beams to the North Area, where the physics season has started
