9. Special JAI Student Lectures - Effective Science Communication in Particle and Accelerator Physics

Dr Hector Garcia-Morales

30/01/2025, 15:15

Communicating effectively can make the difference in a selection process for a new position or accessing funding for your project. For that reason, both in academia and in industry, strong communication skills became an essential asset. These lectures aim to empower particle and accelerator physics researchers to communicate their findings effectively, both internally and externally, foster...

10. University Neutrons: The High-Flux Accelerator Facility at Birmingham

Carl Wheldon (University of Birmingham)

06/02/2025, 15:15

The University of Birmingham has operated several accelerators since the 1940s and in December 2023, the new High Flux Accelerator-Driven Neutron Facility (HF-ADNeF) was commissioned. At its heart is a high-current 2.6 MV proton / deuteron accelerator, capable of 30-50 mA. A high-power, rotating lithium target can generate 1e12 neutrons/cm^2/s via the Li-7(p,n)Be-7 reaction. Additionally,...

13. The TWOCRYST Project at the CERN Large Hadron Collider: Pioneering a Novel Experiment to Explore Charmed Baryons

Dr Pascal Hermes (CERN)

27/02/2025, 15:15

The study of magnetic and electric dipole moments (MDM and EDM) of charm baryons, such as the ΛC, offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore fundamental physics beyond the Standard Model. However, these particles have incredibly short lifetimes—just 10⁻¹³ seconds—making such measurements extremely challenging. A breakthrough becomes possible by confining their motion within the atomic...

15. Development of HTS Trapped Field Magnets Using 2G HTS Coated Conductors

Dr Hengpei Liao (University of Strathclyde)

13/03/2025, 15:15

Compact high-temperature superconducting (HTS) trapped field magnets hold great potential for advanced industrial/research equipment, medical devices, and electrified transportation, offering unique advantages over conventional permanent magnets and electromagnets. While superconductors use zero electrical resistance to sustain high currents and generate substantial fields, traditional HTS...
