Many of today’s most advanced research infrastructures rely on the use of particle accelerators. This includes for example synchrotron-based light sources and FELs, high energy accelerators for particle physics experiments, high intensity hadron accelerators for the generation of exotic beams and spallation sources, as well as much smaller accelerator facilities where cooled beams of specific...

In 2012 two LHC experiments have discovered a new particle with a mass around 125 GeV, which appears to be the scalar Higgs boson of the Standard Model. To further examine this remarkable particle it could be produced in large numbers for precision studies by an e+e− collider operating near the ZH threshold at beam energies of 120 GeV, or, in the s-channel by a gamma-gamma collider with...

Third generation synchrotron light sources under operation have reached very low emittances (1-5 nm.rad) at energies of a few GeV. Linear and nonlinear beam dynamics optimizations of their storage ring lattices are complex but well mastered. An overview of the procedures used for the optimization will be shown in this talk together with the performance of the latest generation of operating...

In this talk a wide overview of the current state of the art of facilities that produce low energy/low intensity beams will be presented. Performances and R&D activities will be described, also putting in evidence the future plans for the improvements. The main facilities producing radioactive ion beams will be also presented, with an accurate description of the related beam diagnostics.

At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), proton beam losses must be controlled to unprecedented levels of accuracy as there are about 9 orders of magnitudes between the beam stored energy ad the quench limits of superconducting magnets. This poses critical challenges for the simulations of collimation performance that must provide accurate estimates with appropriate statistics of beam losses at...

Traditionally magnets for particle accelerators have been based on electromagnetic generation of the magnetic field. A new Green Magnet® technology based on permanent magnets requires close to zero electrical power, no cooling water, and it saves cost, space and natural resources. The technology has been developed as a collaborative R&D project between industry and academia. The performance of...
