DESY meets India
What do huge sailing ships, science and India have in common? They were all present at this year’s celebrations for the birthday of Hamburg’s harbour. This year’s special guest country was India, and as DESY has strong links with India especially in the field of photon science, DESY put up a tent in the harbour […]
The potential of superconducting niobium cavities
There are more than 30,000 particle accelerators in operation around the world. At Fermilab, US, scientists are collaborating with other laboratories and industry to optimise the manufacturing processes for a new type of powerful accelerator that uses superconducting niobium cavities. View video
Large-scale powering scheme has scientists’ pulses racing
For the first time, a large-scale calorimeter prototype for the ILC, fully equipped with embedded power-pulsed electronics, successfully passed a test beam at CERN a few weeks ago. A prototype of more than one cubic metre in size of CALICE’s Semi-Digital Hadronic Calorimeter successfully recorded and tracked 1 million particles from CERN’s SPS accelerator beam […]

Fermilab’s Cryomodule 2 installation
Last week Fermilab’s Cryomodule 2 was transported to the laboratory’s NML building. Watch trucks, cranes and people move and install the ILC-type cryomodule in a time-lapse video.
Impressions from Daegu, Korea
Images: Nobuko Kobayashi (meeting series), KILC12 (group photo) and Tsunehiko Omori (feast image) This week, linear collider researchers meet in Daegu, Korea for KILC12. Among other topics, they discussed the final production stages of the Detailed Baseline Design and Technical Design Report. To top it all off, conference organisers are treating attendees to their choice […]
New bison at Fermilab
Two new male bison, or bulls, were delivered to Fermilab earlier this month. New bulls are rotated into the Fermilab herd every few years. Read more about it in Fermilab Today.
