Cavities Radio-frequency cavities drive accelerators across the world, their weird and tune up wonderful metallic structures sustaining strong electromagnetic fields that shunt charged particles to higher energies. Particle physicists have pioneered the development of the most powerful superconducting cavities, and CERN is at the core of this effort. Currently installed in the Super Proton Synchrotron for their first tests in a proton beam are two superconducting “crab” cavities, named for their ability to tilt proton bunches sideways to ensure maximum collision intensity. The technology is at the heart of the high-luminosity LHC upgrade and is based on cavities made entirely from niobium. But CERN is also making huge strides with advanced niobium-coated copper cavities. Once the pinnacle of radio-frequency technology at CERN, driving the upgraded Large Electron Positron collider during the 1990s, niobium– copper cavities are back and even beginning to challenge the performance of their bulk-niobium counterparts. Such developments underpin the recent energy upgrade of the radioactive-beam facility ISOLDE and are key to next-generation accelerators at CERN and elsewhere.

    IL NUOVO CIMENTO Vol. 37 C, N. 5 Settembre-Ottobre 2014 DOI 10.1393/ncc/i2014-11827-x Colloquia: The Legacy of Bruno Pontecorvo Major events and minor episodes U. Amaldi TERA Foundation and Technische Universit¨at M¨unchen - M¨unchen, Germany Summary. — Bruno Pontecorvo was a freshly graduated twentyone years old physicist when he joined, in the summer of 1934, the research group led by Enrico Fermi. In October the Panisperna boys would make their most important discovery – radioactivity induced by slow neutrons – and shortly thereafter would be parted by personal and historical events. This paper describes some episodes of those early years and of later periods, sketching a portrait of the team: starting from the extraordinary human and scientific experience of via Panisperna, up to the patent negotiations in USA, to which Pontecorvo’s flight to URSS put an end with unexpected consequences; getting to his first return in Italy, allowed by the sovietic government in 1978, on the occasion of the conference celebrating Edoardo Amaldi’s 70th anniversary. That was the first of several encounters of the author of this paper with Bruno Pontecorvo, which are here briefly recounted, as minor episodes giving a personal perspective on the man. 1. – Fast neutrons, slow neutrons At the beginning of 1934, after reading the papers by Joliot and Curie reporting the discovery of artificial radioactivity produced by alfa particles, Enrico Fermi tried to create artificial radioisotopes irradiating many elements with neutrons. The neutrons were produced by a Poα + Be source, prepared by Franco Rasetti and similar to the one used by the Joliot-Curies.

    I NTERNATIONAL J OURNAL OF H IGH -E NERGY P HYSICS CERNCOURIER WELCOME V OLUME 5 7 N UMBER 3 A PRIL 2 0 1 7 CERN Courier – digital edition Welcome to the digital edition of the April 2017 issue of CERN Courier. Theory in motion Few scientific disciplines enjoy such a close connection with mathematics as particle physics, and at the heart of this relationship lies quantum field theory. Quantum electrodynamics famously predicts quantities, such as the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, which agree with observations at the level of 10 decimal places, while the Higgs boson existed on paper half a century before the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) flushed it out for real. Driven by the strong performance of the LHC experiments, there has been a burst of activity in recent months concerning next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations in quantum chromodynamics to ensure that theory keeps up with the precision of LHC measurements. As the cover feature in this issue explains, cracking the complex NNLO problem demands novel algorithms, mathematical ingenuity and computational muscle. Theorists are also trying to make sense of a number of “exotic” hadrons that have turned up in recent years in experiments such as LHCb and which do not naturally fit the simple quark model. Sticking with the strong-force theme, we also report on 30 years of heavy-ion physics and how recent measurements at the LHC and RHIC are closing in on the evolution of the quark–gluon plasma. Finally, we describe new forward detectors that from this year will allow the LHC to analyse photon–photon collisions in the ongoing search for new physics.
