High Luminosity LHC
Use Cases High Luminosity LHC Upgrade (HL-LHC) The HL-LHC is CERN’s major upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider, aiming to increase its luminosity by a factor of 5–7. This allows collecting more data for physics discoveries but also imposes stricter requirements on accelerator components. HL-LHC is organized over 20 work packages, and we participate in…

Future Circular Collider
Use Cases The FCC-ee Overview The Future Circular Collider team completed the FCC feasibility study on 31 March 2025 and published its report, which examined the technical and financial viability of the FCC at CERN. The first stage of the FCC will be the construction of an electron-positron collider for precision measurements, with a 15-year…

Materials Research and Development
Use Cases Materials R&D Since 2010, we worked with research institute and industry to develop and patent light, robust and highly thermally conductive composite materials. They have applications in CERN beam intercepting devices, such as LHC collimators, as well as for society (thermal dissipation systems, aerospace, nuclear & fusion). Graphite and Diamond based composites Molybdenum-Graphite…
