Accelerator Report: No summer holidays for the accelerator complex
CERN’s accelerators show very good availability rates: beams are in place
New beam dumps: cut along the dotted line
Dismantling a beam dump is a real conundrum – that’s what the 2020 “autopsy” concluded. To solve it, the new spare LHC beam dumps have been made easier to “cut”
Bringing black hole jets down to Earth
The Fireball collaboration has used CERN’s HiRadMat facility to produce an analogue of the jets of matter and antimatter that stream out of some black holes and neutron stars
Accelerator Report: The accelerator complex gears up for action after the yearly winter maintenance break
The first beams are already circulating in the Linac4 and PS Booster and should reach the LHC on 11 March. A new physics run is about to begin!
Fireball at HiRadMat
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
LHC Report: The switch was flipped, and the beams were dumped
Looking back on an exciting year for the LHC and its injector complex
The ARIES project, a promoter of innovation and accessibility for accelerators, comes to a close
The EU-funded ARIES project has succeeded in opening up new avenues for the accelerator community
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
Flexible and accessible, the HiRadMat facility celebrates its tenth anniversary
Since its construction in 2011, HiRadMat has been a unique experimental facility for testing materials under beam impact
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
