ASACUSA (atomic spectroscopy and collisions using slow antiprotons) now works mainly on two subjects, 1) antihydrogen ground-state hyperfine splitting measurement, and 2) antiprotonic helium laser spectroscopy.  Both of these aim at CPT tests.…

The Future Circular Collider study for hadron-hadron collisions (FCC-hh) foresees a collision energy of 100 TeV, which is about 7 times higher than the LHC. For the detectors this means that in order to determine the properties of the particles the…

Introduction Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) are a family of detectors with gas as active medium. They were conceived in order to overcome the limitations of the Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers (MWPCs) [1] with respect to position…

ISOLDE is CERN’s radioactive beam facility that produces low energy and post-accelerated beams. The high energy and intensity, average intensity of 2 μA, of the proton beam from the PS booster on different thick targets produces high quality intense…

Two of the LHC experiments, ATLAS and ALICE, recently announced winners of the “ATLAS PhD Grant” and “ALICE Thesis Award” schemes. The prizes aim to foster healthy competition between young members of the two collaborators and acknowledge the hard…

The design study of the Future Circular Colliders (FCC) was initiated at the beginning of 2014, to identify post-LHC accelerator projects at CERN. The study has an emphasis on proton-proton (FCC-hh) and electron-positron (FCC-ee) colliders, and…
