Building the Magnets for the Muon Collider

Gianluca Vernassa was awarded the IEEE CSC Graduate Study Fellowship for his work on REBCO superconductors, a technology that could help shape the powerful magnets needed for the Muon Collider.

On 2 July, at this year’s International Conference on Magnet Technology, Gianluca Vernassa, PhD student at the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne and IMCC member, received the IEEE Council on Superconductivity Graduate Study Fellowship Award for his research on ultra-high-field REBCO magnets, a technology that may one day play a crucial role in the future Muon Collider.
