An investigation of the dislocation substructure and mechanical properties of high-purity niobium single crystals with different initial crystal orientations deformed in tension at strain rates of 10^{-4} to 10^3 s^{-1} is presented. Specimens were cut from a large grain niobium disk used for the manufacturing of SRF cavities. Different crystallographic tensile directions exhibited...
Within the framework of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) and the EASITrain project, a major revision of the entire cryogenic cycle for the new machine is investigated in comparison to the LHC architecture. In particular, a closed-loop cryogenic cycle relying on turbocompressors and operating with Nelium mixtures is foreseen to enable the pre-cooling of helium.
To better understand the...
Benefits derived from CERN’s FCC research go beyond building infrastructures to answer of fundamental research questions. A crucial question is how - apart from learning more about our universe - can society benefit directly from a new particle collider project? While not necessarily apparent at first glance, research on new high technologies comes with profound economic impact on industry and...
