A new project to look at creating a world-leading materials science centre at the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Daresbury Laboratory is underway thanks to more than £1million funding.…
Daniel Turner, a 3rd year Cockcroft student at Lancaster University, co-supervised by ASTeC, has won the best student poster prize at the international conference on superconducting RF (SRF’21). The conference…
Particle colliders are important engines of discovery, and collisions between both protons and leptons have shone a light on the fundamental structure of our universe for decades. These colliders operate…
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) target the development of excellent researchers through international and cross-sector mobility. MSCA networks support joint doctoral programmes, implemented by European partnerships of universities, research institutions, industry…
For the second time in a month, experts from the Cockcroft Institute have had a paper selected as an “Editor’s Suggestion” in Physical Review – Accelerators and Beams. Drs Rob Apsimon and…
The Galileo Galilei Award in Medical Physics is given every year to the best paper published in the European Journal of Medical Physics in the previous year. The journal has…
Earlier this year Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency, announced that it will invest up to £1 million in innovation projects through a competition funded through the Commercialising Quantum Technologies programme…
Particle accelerators are behind some of the most spectacular scientific discoveries, and the reason why we know that matter consists of atoms, and that in turn atoms consist of electrons…
STFC and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have agreed to collaborate on building one of the world’s most powerful linear accelerators. Based at the US Department of Energy’s Fermilab, the Proton…
