“Put to the test“
CERN Bulletin August 2015
This summer, the HiRadMat (High Radiation to Materials) facility began testing the first HL-LHC collimator jaw prototypes. How they perform when bombarded with high-energy, high-intensity beams will go on to shape the particle accelerators of the future…
Crab cavities: colliding protons head-on
CERN Bulletin 2017
The crab cavities, a new technology to brighten up the future, will play an important role in the High-Luminosity LHC…
A novel composite for HL-LHC collimators
Accelerating News 2019
During the long-shutdown 2 (LS2), the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collimation system will be upgraded, by the production and installation of four new primary and eight secondary collimators for beam halo cleaning, as well as four collimators in the dispersion suppression region…
Newly developed thermal conducting material holds promise for use in future accelerators and industry
I.FAST Newsletter 2024
The search for a scalable replacement for copper as a thermal conducting material in high thermal management applications has been an ongoing process for over a decade…
