Positrons pass test for the Future Circular Collider
An experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland has successfully produced, captured and transported positrons using a novel system developed for CERN’s proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC). The results show that the key elements of the FCC positron-source concept can operate together, representing an important advance for this technically demanding aspect of the
