Since the last Accelerator Report, lead-ion beams have been successfully provided to the SPS North Area, in particular to the NA61 experiment, which is their principal user
The NA61 experiment at CERN, also known as SHINE, has made new measurements that will help physicists work out the content of neutrino beams used in experiments in the US
CERN’s HiRadMat facility restarts this week with a new experiment nicknamed “Fireball”, which will give new insights into extreme astrophysical phenomena such as gamma-ray bursts
Following the installation of kicker magnets that are more heat resistant and their successful tests during the SPS scrubbing run, the SPS is getting ready for High-Luminosity LHC operation.
With the progressive recommissioning of the injectors – including, now, the SPS – the various types of beam are being set up and are gradually reaching the downstream accelerators
Forty years ago today, physicists at CERN announced to the world that they had discovered the electrically charged carrier of the weak force, one of nature’s four fundamental forces
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
After the PS, it is now time for the SPS to return to the Operations group’s hands. Beam commissioning in the accelerator is scheduled for 12 April 2021
