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

Physics Beyond Colliders
Physics Beyond Colliders 17 DECEMBER,2020 | By Markus Brugger 2020 was a special year for particle physics where after a preparation phase of almost four years the community refreshed the roadmap for the field in Europe, considering the worldwide context, in the so-called European Strategy for Particle Physics update, which happens every seven years. The

PBC Studies/Experiments becoming reality during the 2021 operation
PBC Studies/Experiments becoming reality during the 2021 operation 12 DECEMBER, 2021 | By Lau Gatignon and the PBC team The Physics Beyond Colliders (PBC) study brought in 2021 not only new ideas, but also the first real implementations and data taking. For many existing experiments the proposed new ideas come along with requests for ever

The P42 enigma
The P42 enigma 1 DECEMBER, 2022 | By Lau Gatignon Three new experiments submitted LOI’s to the SPSC for using ECN3 after LS3: HIKE, SHADOWS and SHIP. All request much higher beam intensities than now: 3 x1012 → 2 to 4 x1013 ppp. The difficulties to commission the P42 and K12 lines for NA62 underlined

Why the ESPP and P5 strategy process are important to us
Why the ESPP and P5 strategy process are important to us 14 DECEMBER, 2023 | By Markus Brugger and Roberto Losito Throughout the past century, institutions like ours have used experiments of increasing energy and precision to uncover how the universe works at the smallest scales. Their efforts have led to the Standard Model of

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.

What experiment to run in ECN3 after LS3?
What experiment to run in ECN3 after LS3? 4 DECEMBER, 2023 | By Johannes Bernhard and Lau Gatignon In the context of the Physics Beyond Colliders (PBC) study, new ideas were solicited for experiments complementary to the ones at high-energy colliders. ECN3 is the only underground cavern in the North Area, where the highest intensities
