Construction work on the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN began in 1972, soon after an agreement had been signed with France to establish a new site at Prévessin. With its 7 km tunnel, it became the world’s fi rst cross-border accelerator. In the black and white image from early 1974, the year of CERN’s 20th anniversary, the metal structure of the shuttering used when pouring the concrete walls of the tunnel gives a remarkable optical effect. The accelerator started up two years later on 17 June 1976. The colour image, from last November, shows the red bending magnets of the SPS, almost 40 years later, during the fi rst long shutdown of the accelerator complex. Today, the SPS serves as the fi nal stage of the injection chain to the LHC, and also continues to deliver beam to experiments in the North Area at Prévessin. Like the rest of the complex, it has seen its fair share of refurbishment during the shutdown (p9). (Image credits: CERN-CE-7402048 and CERN-GE-1311288-02.)

FULL PRODUCT DETECTOR WARRANTY* WARRANTY* NIU-Fermilab ACCELERATOR RESEARCH CLUSTER * After product registration on www.flir.com

A new joint initiative between Northern Illinois University (NIU) and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) envisages developing a collaborative program with targeted and matched mutual investments to create a cluster of research excellence in advanced accelerator science and technology. The research cluster will enable “discovery-class” science driven by charged particle beams and associated advanced techniques and technologies of superconducting cavity electrodynamics, high-field magnets, lasers and nonlinear dynamical control of particle, atomic and molecular beams. The R&D will be directed towards developments in particle physics and related disciplines of cosmology, material and life sciences and their applications to societal grand challenges of energy, environment, health and security. Opportunities exist to contribute to large scale national and international accelerator activities such as the development of the long-baseline neutrino facility at Fermilab and TeV-scale collider developments world-wide as well as cutting edge innovative research in laboratory –scale experiments to investigate the “dark” sector of the vacuum and other precision experiments e.g. “g-2” and “mu-to-e”. Working seamlessly with the outstanding accelerator research staff at Fermilab, NIU physics and engineering departments and T450sc-Series_193x125.indd 1 28/03/14 09:49 its Northern Illinois Centre for Accelerator and Detector Development (NICADD) and the consortium of mid-western universities and laboratories, with access to advanced accelerator test facilities at Fermilab, ANL and other international laboratories such as CERN (Switzerland), DESY (Germany), ESS (Sweden), John Adams Institute and Cockcroft Institute (UK), the cluster will offer PSD Plastic Scintillator unique collaborative research opportunities.
