AGATA: The Advanced Gamma Tracking Array
The Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA) is a major European project to develop, build, and operate a world-leading 180-detector (4π) gamma-ray spectrometer for in-beam studies of nuclei.
AION: The Atom Interferometric Observatory and Network
The Atom Interferometric Observatory and Network (AION) is a project to construct and operate a next-generation large-scale atom interferometer.
CBC - The CMS Binary Chip
The CMS Binary Chip (as part of the CMS tracker) will provide high-quality physics data while operating at the x10 higher luminosity delivered by the Hi-Lumi upgrade to the LHC.
DarkSide-20K: The Search for Dark Matter
Scientists work hard to increase our understanding of the universe we occupy. We look out at the cosmos and amongst the beauty, we see physics in action at a truly impressive scale.
European Spallation Source: Beam Transport Modules (BTM)
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built in the world and is situated on the outskirts of Lund, Sweden.
European Spallation Source: Radio Frequency Distribution System (RFDS)
The test and delivery of high-power Radio Frequency Distribution System (RFDS) and the design, procurement and delivery of the support structure.
EUROPRACTICE
EUROPRACTICE is a consortium of five renowned European research organizations, who support academic institutions and medium-sized companies looking to design and produce microelectronic ICs.
Fluidised Tungsten Powder
Developing an experimental new technology to cope with the highest accelerator beam powers.
Hi-Lumi Crab Cavity Cryomodules
The High Luminosity upgrade (Hi-Lumi) aims to maximise the discovery potential of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by increasing its luminosity (rate of collisions) by a factor of five.
Inner Tracking System 2 (ITS2) - ALICE upgrade
The Inner Tracking System (ITS-1) of the ALICE experiment at CERN was recently upgraded to ITS2.
ISIS TS1 Neutron Target, Reflector and Moderator
Using modern engineering analysis to improve the performance of the UK’s neutron and muon source.
ISS: The Isolde Solenoidal Spectrometer
The Isolde Solenoidal Spectrometer (ISS) is an experimental setup for nuclear physics research, installed and operated at the radioactive ion beam accelerator HIE-ISOLDE at CERN.
