AD/ELENA ready for post LS2
AD/ELENA ready for post LS2 1 DECEMBER,2020 | By Markus Brugger Our group name being ‘Experimental Areas’, clearly we should start with one of those, thus alphabetically let us go with AD/ELENA first. Please find below several pictures collected by Francois, nicely illustrating the important changes carried out in AD/ELENA during this important year of

Circuit Coordination – Why care?
Circuit Coordination – Why care? 8 DECEMBER,2021 | By Ramon Folch and Michael Jeckel Maximizing the beam operation performance is our main objective. Reliable systems and experienced operators are essential, but not always sufficient. It is also important to limit the perturbations caused by unexpected power cuts. The Experimental Areas are especially subject to such

Antiproton Décélérateur
Antiproton Décélérateur 7 DECEMBER, 2022 | By François Butin and the AD team Une année 2021 riche en émotion sur l’AD, en effet nous travaillons sur ce projet depuis 2012 et ELENA a pu enfin servir des antiprotons bien ralentis et bien refroidis aux expériences « historiques » de « l’usine à antimatière ». Les

The antimatter transport challenge
The antimatter transport challenge 15 DECEMBER, 2022 | By François Butin and Clara Klink This is surely the most expensive substance in the world, and potentially the most dangerous: the production cost of 1 gram of antimatter is impossible to estimate as with our current production means, it would take… 45 billion years! And this

The CERN Small Giant: the Antimatter Factory
The CERN Small Giant: the Antimatter Factory 19 DECEMBER, 2023 | By François Butin, Giulia Romagnoli, Davide Did you know?? That the AD facility is some kind of mini-CERN in itself? The AD complex includes no less than: Did you know??? The AD ring was born in the 2000s on the ashes of the Antiproton

An East & North Areas teaser
An East & North Areas teaser 5 DECEMBER, 2023 | By Markus Brugger Our accelerator complex is a succession of machines that accelerate particles to increasingly higher energies, each stage boosting the energy of a beam of particles before injecting it into the next machine in the sequence. For protons it starts with the Linac4.

We trap antimatter at AD, now what?
We trap antimatter at AD, now what? 1 DECEMBER, 2023 | By François Butin, Clara Klink, and Maud Wehrle Since the first storage of antiprotons in 1978, technique in antimatter trapping at CERN has drastically improved. In the AD Hall, several experiments trap antimatter and are now comparing its physics properties to those of matter.
