Issue 48
September 2024
Welcome to the autumn edition of Accelerating News!
In this issue we take a look at the latest developments of the Electron-Ion Collider, located at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the US. As progress on the construction steps up, we dive into the role that the recently formed EIC Accelerator Collaboration will play in driving groundbreaking physics discoveries and technological innovations at the facility.
We also look at a new forum bringing together industry with accelerator science, a big new first for the CERN Accelerator School and why investment in specialised thin films could revolutionise superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities.
On the events calendar:
- 25 - 27 September: the Seventh Workshop on Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures Facilities
- 27 November: 30th Birthday of the Joint Universities Accelerator School
On a personal note, I am pleased to introduce myself as the new editor-in-chief of Accelerating News. A big thank you to my predecessor Antoine Le Gall for all his hard work on this newsletter over the years.
