TWOCRYST: A Proof-of-Principle Experiment for Crystal-Based EDM/MDM Measurements of Charm Baryons
TWOCRYST: A Proof-of-Principle Experiment for Crystal-Based EDM/MDM Measurements of Charm Baryons by Pascal Hermes, on behalf of the TWOCRYST Collaboration TWOCRYST is entering its final phase of preparation at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Its goal is to demonstrate a novel method for studying the electric and magnetic dipole moments (EDM/MDM) of extremely short-lived…

Installation of MKICool magnets in Pt. 8 completed!
Installation of MKICool magnets in Pt. 8 completed! By Giorgia Favia, Tobias Stadlbauer & Thomas Kramer for SY-ABT The LHC is equipped with two injection kicker (MKI) systems for deflecting the incoming particle beams onto the LHC’s orbits. Each system, located at Point 2 (MKI2) and Point 8 (MKI8), consists of four MKI magnets. The…

Accelerator Report: LHC protons outpacing the Easter tradition
Accelerator Report: LHC protons outpacing the Easter tradition The LHC has restarted and both beams have been circulating in the machine since 8 April, meaning that the start of the LHC beam commissioning during Easter is apparently not a constant of nature. By Rende Steerenberg I concluded my previous Accelerator Report with: “…if the two-week delay holds, the…
