The Magnet Safety System (MSS) is a critical system that ensures the safety of experimental magnets, both warm and superconducting. It was developed within EP-DT for the LHC experiments, starting at the end of the 90’s, in the framework of the…

The heaviest known elementary particle, the top quark, has not been studied in electron-positron collisions so far. A possible future collider such as the ILC, CLIC or FCC-ee would enable a unique top physics program far beyond the capabilities of…
