Building a compact accelerator is a bit like making the first iPhone. Many different technologies are innovatively combined to make this dream machine a reality.
The CMS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider is buzzing with activity. The first year of Run 2 is ending, and as we near the end of 2016, we have our work cut out for us.
This year NAPAC, the largest domestic particle accelerator conference, brought together more than 500 experts in all fields of accelerator science and technology, covering the entire spectrum of accelerator science and technology topics.
Mattia Checchin scored a hat trick of awards for best student poster based on his work on accelerating cavities. What else can he do?
The prize, shared with James Bjorken of SLAC and Anton Piwinski of DESY, honors theoretical work that helped sharpen the focus of beams at a wide variety of particle accelerators.
Fermilab is a key partner in Cornell University’s Center for Bright Beams, which recently received $23 million to pursue cutting-edge accelerator technologies.
Mattia Checchin, a Ph.D. student from the Illinois Institute of Technology who is conducting his thesis research at Fermilab, has won first prize in the LINAC 16 student poster contest.
Fermilab’s Anna Grassellino and Alexander Romanenko have been awarded the 2017 USPAS Accelerator Prize for Achievement in Accelerator Physics and Technology.
Fermilab’s recently assembled prototype cryomodule for the future LCLS-II is entering its next phase. In late July, the cryomodule was moved to new, temporary lodgings at Fermilab’s Cryomodule Test Facility, where it is hooked up to a new test stand, also just completed.
