The eRMC demonstrator, consisting of two flat niobium-tin coils, has produced a peak magnetic field of 16.5 tesla, a promising result in the context of the FCC (Future Circular Collider) study
CERN’s oldest working accelerator has a new injection kicker magnet and will soon receive a new septum as well
Work to renovate CERN’s oldest accelerator continues as part of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project
Ten new magnets are already being connected
Teams are hard at work in the LHC tunnel to improve the electrical insulation of the diodes of more than 1200 magnets
Work has begun to improve the electrical insulation of the diodes of the 1232 dipole magnets in the LHC
CERN test facility to test superconducting magnets of new GSI accelerator
The Antiproton Decelerator will see refurbishment work that will help its experiments to trap more antimatter than before
Following our article on the PS Booster, we take a look at the next link in CERN’s accelerator chain: the venerable PS and its magnet system
In the first of our series of articles on work done during LS2, we focus on the second link in the accelerator chain, the PS Booster
