Towards a strategic plan for future muon colliders
In the context of the European Strategy Update on Particle Physics, a working group was been appointed in 2017 by the CERN Directorate to review the status of muon collider activities.
AWAKE: More plasma = more acceleration
A new type of plasma cell, known as a helicon cell, is being studied for AWAKE. The aim is to generate a greater quantity of plasma in one go. AWAKE Run 2 will start after the LS2.
Aligning the HL-LHC magnets with interferometry
CERN surveyors have developed a procedure based on interferometry to determine the position of cold masses inside the cryostats of the future HL-LHC.
News from LS2: Dissipating the electron clouds
Two teams are treating the vacuum chambers of selected SPS magnets to limit the electron-cloud phenomenon, which can disrupt the beams.
International HiRadMat Workshop
The much-antecipated event took place in the summer of 2019 at CERN, with great success.
