CERN’s Know-How
- Decades of experience in simulation, design, construction and operation of accelerators. Bespoke hardware and software for acceleration, diagnostics, beam control and monitoring.
- In-house design and modelling of superconductive devices and magnet systems. Design, integration and operation of large-scale cryogenic systems.
- High spatial resolution detectors for measuring particle beam structure and energy deposition in hadron therapy.
- Accurate simulation tools for modelling particle passage through matter.
Facts & Figures
