MACHINA – Design & construction of a transportable RFQ for PIXE analysis
MACHINA – Design & construction of a transportable RFQ for PIXE analysis | The MACHINA (Movable Accelerator for Cultural Heritage In-situ Non-desctructive Analysis) collaboration has developed a ‘miniaturised’ Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator that is expected to open up new possibilities for the analysis of fine art and cultural artefacts. It employs a technique called Particle Induced

High-Frequency Low Energy Compact RFQ
High-Frequency Low Energy Compact RFQ | This project aims at studying the feasibility of an extremely compact source such that the source extraction system is integrated into the RFQ vacuum and RF envelope, in order to create a compact injector for the compact RFQ. It is considered a logical continuation of previous efforts developing the

Controlling high RF power at higher frequencies (SolidWatts)
Controlling high RF power at higher frequencies (SolidWatts) | The project develops an RF power source using injection-locked magnetrons, aiming to deliver a stable, controllable, and efficient alternative to conventional RF generators. The work is organised in phases: first demonstrating injection locking of a single magnetron, then combining two synchronised units with low-level RF control.

SF6-free S-band circulator for photo injectors
SF6-free S-band circulator for photo injectors | SF6 is a highly polluting greenhouse gas used in high-power waveguide circulators, which are key Radio-Frequency devices used in particle accelerators, whether for particle physics or medical purposes. The goal of the project is to remove the need for SF6 in one of two ways: developing a circulator able

Thin film coatings
Thin film coatings | Thin film coatings for ultra-high vacuums CERN experts have significant expertise across a range of thin film coating techniques for producing High & Ultra-High Vacuum, particularly Non-Evaporable Getter (NEG) thin film coatings. NEG coatings are produced by sputtering an alloy of several selected metals onto a vacuum chamber wall. When activated

High Frequency Compact Linear Proton Accelerator
High Frequency Compact Linear Proton Accelerator | In the frame of its programme for medical applications, and building on its experience with the LINAC4 injector (the first stage in the Large Hadron Collider accelerator chain), the High-Frequency Radio Frequency Quadrupole (HF-RFQ) was constructed with the goal of providing a compact, low-current injector for a proton
