At the end of Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the accelerator complex will be upgraded to the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) which will achieve a peak instantaneous luminosity of 7.5 × 1034 cm⁻²s⁻¹. This corresponds to approximately 200 proton-proton collisions per bunch crossing—more than three times the current pileup levels. Over its operational lifetime, the HL-LHC is expected to...

Dr Sanae SAMSAM (INFN Milano)15/09/2025, 15:30Physics ResearchContributed Oral Presentation
Achieving optimal beam quality and stability in linear accelerators (Linacs) is essential for advancing accelerator physics. However, High Order Modes (HOMs) in superconducting cavities, particularly in Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs), pose significant challenges to beam dynamics. To address these challenges, we introduce the Compact HOMEN (High Order Mode Evolution based on Energy budget)...

Luca Serafini (INFN-Milan)17/09/2025, 14:00Physics ResearchInvited Talk
The STAR project (Southern Europe Thomson Backscattering Source for Applied Research), hosted at the University of Calabria (Italy), is a compact accelerator facility producing tunable, polarized, ps-duration X-rays (40–350 keV) via Thomson scattering. Its Phase II development, nearing completion, integrates an S-band RF gun operating at a cutting-edge 100 Hz repetition rate, one S-band...

Dr SIMON MULLINS (Botswana International University of Science and Technology)19/09/2025, 09:30Physics ResearchInvited Talk
Nuclear Science and Technology (NST) hold the potential to meet the objectives of the Botswana Vision 2036, which seeks to transform Botswana from a middle-income to a high-income nation. Botswana intends to capitalize on the deployment of high-tech nuclear technologies for meeting its national development goals through the establishment of BINST - the Botswana Institute for Nuclear Science...

Germano Bonomi (Universita di Brescia (IT))19/09/2025, 10:00Physics ResearchInvited Talk
Although antimatter is known since almost a century, the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe is one of the biggest mystery of our time. At the Antimatter Factory at CERN, among other experiments, the ALPHA collaboration is studying the properties of antihydrogen to shed light on such asymmetry. In particular, although the gravitational interaction between matter and antimatter has been...
