89. Road Map for Discoveries at Hadron Colliders

Peter Jenni (CERN)

21/08/2010, 09:15

Particle physics at the high energy frontier is dominated by experiments at hadron colliders. The Tevatron Collider at Chicago, USA, with its successful exploitation and many searches for new physics is now being followed by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Geneva, Switzerland, which will explore a new territory of physics in the coming decades. The LHC will allow us to study, in a...

90. Particle accelerators: ships of discovery, engines of development

Philippe Lebrun (CERN)

21/08/2010, 11:00

Particle accelerators were born a century ago, together with the discovery of elementary particles. Cross-fertilized by technical progress and emerging technologies, they have shown sustained development over the years to become the modern ships of discovery in high-energy and nuclear physics, and also – as powerful sources of probe radiation – in atomic, molecular and condensed-matter...

91. CERN – A Gateway to Collaboration & Innovation

Emmanuel Tsesmelis (CERN)

21/08/2010, 11:45

This presentation describes how to CERN is seeking to concretise the role of fundamental research as a driver for innovation. This has been a very evident aspect of high-energy physics research. This type of research needs very sophisticated instruments using technologies that often exceed the available industrial know-how. Many of these technologies have been spun-off to innovations that have...

92. Energetics and Nuclear Fusion

Norbert Holtkamp (ITER)

21/08/2010, 13:45

ITER (in Latin “the way”) is designed to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy on an industrial scale. The principal goal of ITER is to generate 500 megawatts of fusion power for periods of 300 to 500 seconds with a fusion power multiplication factor of at least 10. The technical challenges of the project will be discussed together with the accompanying...

93. Progress in particle therapy in Europe

Manjit Dosanjh (CERN)

21/08/2010, 14:45

Hadrons play a critical role in the 21st century oncology: proton beams are now regularly used to treat cancer, and carbon-ion therapy starts to spread as well. State-of-the-art techniques borrowed from particle accelerators and detectors are a key element in particle therapy, and several European projects are actively fostering the connections between clinicians, physicists, biologists and...
