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…

Active EMI Compensation for Pulsed Kicker Systems in Particle Accelerators
Active EMI Compensation for Pulsed Kicker Systems in Particle Accelerators Tobias Stadlbauer (SY-ABT), Fritz Caspers (EP-UGC) Kicker systems in particle accelerators operate at high voltages, reaching up to 80 kV, and currents up to 30 kA, with risetimes as fast as 10 ns, producing pulses comparable to lightning strikes in terms of current amplitude, length,…

2024: a record year for the CHARM radiation test facility
2024: a record year for the CHARM radiation test facility After 9 months of intense activity, the 2024 T8 proton beam run came to an end on November 13, passing the relay for the last two weeks of operations to lead ions and related test activities. Consequently, the CHARM and IRRAD facilities also concluded their…

A new home for the generators of the Multi-Turn Extraction (MTE) kickers
A new home for the generators of the Multi-Turn Extraction (MTE) kickers By M. Fraser (SY-ABT), L. Ducimetiere (SY-ABT), Vasco Namora (SY-ABT) The Multi-Turn Extraction kicker system has been in development since 2008 for the proton beam extraction from PS towards the SPS, via TT2, entering operation in 2015 to produce fixed target beams for…
