CERN Accelerating science

Over the past 40 years, CAS has played a significant role in the advancement of accelerator science and technology and continues to be an important resource.

Optics developments with CFMs show promising results to improve the FCC-ee performance and efficiency.

Although permanent magnets can significantly reduce the energy consumption of accelerators, their use of rare earths requires best practices, as discussed by experts at the latest I.FAST workshop.

Aimed at introducing high-school students to the benefits of particle physics for society and medical applications, the Particle Therapy MasterClass just opened registration for its 2023 edition.

With a funding of up to 200 kEUR each, the projects will contribute to improve the sustainability of particle accelerator technologies.

Organised this September, a special topics workshop was an opportunity to discuss the international landscape of novel accelerators

To be renewed next summer, I.FAST project’s yearly student challenge explored environmental and societal applications of accelerator technology.

The CLIC collaboration is moving towards its technical design report.

Inspired by the production of NEG-coated vacuum chambers, this novel technique for high quality Nb/Cu cavities that can be used in FCC-ee has completed its first qualitative feasibility study.

With its first major equipment now in place and infrastructure nearly installed, HL-LHC’s test bed is on track to start operation in 2024.
