Cool kickers for the HL-LHC
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
HiLumi News: 7.2-m-long niobium–tin quadrupole magnet manufactured at CERN reaches nominal current for the first time
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
CERN Accelerator School: RF for Accelerators | 18 June - 1 July 2023
LHC Report: The switch was flipped, and the beams were dumped
Looking back on an exciting year for the LHC and its injector complex
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
Call for participation: radiation protection congress in Annecy-le-Vieux, 20–22 September 2022

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
