In 1983, when textbooks on accelerator physics were sparse, the CERN Accelerator School was born. See how its educational approach continues to make an impact

Accelerator highlights, challenges and successes in 2023

Since the last Accelerator Report, lead-ion beams have been successfully provided to the SPS North Area, in particular to the NA61 experiment, which is their principal user

CERN and INFN have developed a compact, transportable accelerator for the non-destructive analysis of historical artifacts and artworks, providing a cheaper, more accessible method of analysing large or fragile items of this nature

Following the installation of kicker magnets that are more heat resistant and their successful tests during the SPS scrubbing run, the SPS is getting ready for High-Luminosity LHC operation.

The first additive manufacturing of a critical accelerator component paves the way for more affordable and versatile particle accelerators.

Registration for the 2023 session of the Joint Universities Accelerator School (JUAS) is now open

The fund aims to stimulate innovation in accelerator technologies by supporting projects with funding of up to 200 kEUR

The North Area, part of the Super Proton Synchrotron complex, will see a major two-phased facelift in the upcoming years

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
