New magnets aim to meet positron demands of 91km collider
Researchers at PSI developed new superconducting magnets, aiming to meet the positron demands of CERN’s planned 91km Future Circular Collider.
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland are developing a new magnet design utilizing high-temperature superconductors to address a critical challenge for future particle physics. The technology aims to generate the intense positron beams required for CERN’s planned 91 km Future Circular Collider, a facility intended to succeed the 27-km Large Hadron Collider as it nears the end of operations in the 2040s. “The FCC-ee needs a much larger number of positrons than current technology can efficiently produce and capture,”…
