Superconductivity for sustainability: a new superconducting link for the High-Luminosity LHC

March 3, 2023
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, is also the largest single machine operating in the world today that uses superconductivity. The proton beams inside the LHC are bent and focused around the accelerator ring using superconducting electromagnets. These electromagnets are built from coils, made of niobium–titanium (Nb–Ti) cables, that have t

Feasibility Study for a possible Future Circular Collider (FCC) gets under way on the ground

March 7, 2023
CERN’s main facility, the LHC, will complete its mission around 2040, and the international particle physics community is already working on various options for the design of the accelerator that will succeed it.One of these options is the Future Circular Collider (FCC), which would be installed in a tunnel measuring some 91 kilometres in circumference at a depth of between 100 and 400 metres on F
