The T4 Wobbling station
The T4 Wobbling station 06 DECEMBER, 2024 | By Fabian Metzger In CERN’s North Area, wobbling stations play a fascinating role in guiding particle beams to multiple experiments. Think of them as the traffic controllers of high-energy physics, ensuring that the products of a single proton beam are steered into different beamlines with precision. This

Scaffolding
Scaffolding 22 DECEMBER,2020 | By Markus Brugger 2020 was an incredibly busy year for our scaffolding service, having worksites all around CERN from the injectors to the LHC, the experimental areas and providing multiple support to the LHC caverns. This translated in having periods of up to 12 contractors moving between the various worksites, mounting,

Beamline and physics studies
Beamline and physics studies 20 DECEMBER,2020 | By Markus Brugger Many experiments have started with an idea, initially discussed between few people only, and following good CERN tradition, often sitting around a cup of coffee (at least before the current COVID situation). For fixed target experiments, very early on an important question is raised, namely
