End-of-run rush for CLIC pixel detectors in test beams
End-of-run rush for CLIC pixel detectors in test beams Several silicon pixel-detector technologies are being explored in view of the challenging requirements for the CLIC vertex and tracking detectors in terms of high spatial resolution (3-7 µm), precise hit timing (10 ns binning) and very low material budget (down to 0.2% of a radiation length

EU project lights up X-band technology
EU project lights up X-band technology Advanced linear-accelerator (linac) technology developed at CERN and elsewhere will be used to develop a new generation of compact X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs), thanks to a €3 million project funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme. Beginning in January 2018, “CompactLight” aims to design the first hard XFEL
