Former CERN engineer Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, now an ESA astronaut, will take off aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday 11 June 2025
Representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) came to CERN on Friday, 24 March for the first in a series of knowledge-sharing sessions on free and open source technologies
The first “MKI-Cool” was installed in early January – water-cooled ferrite cylinders will protect the LHC’s kicker magnets from increased heat load in the high-luminosity era
The 7.2-metre-long version of this vital HL-LHC component reached nominal current plus an operational margin corresponding to a coil peak field of 11.5 T at 1.9 K during a test in SM18
An LHC quadrupole whose beam screen had been coated with a fine layer of carbon displayed minimal heat load in comparison to other magnets, constituting a promising step in eliminating electron clouds in future particle accelerators
On Saturday, 12 November 2022, “Expanding Your Horizons” will be back with a day full of fun and hands-on activities aimed at motivating girls to engage with science and maths
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
The AWAKE collaboration has successfully seeded the self-modulation of a proton bunch, to control and stabilise plasma waves that can accelerate electrons with record gradients
