The University of Manchester has opened a new lectureship in accelerator physics at the Cockcroft Institute (UK). The university is seeking to appoint a scientist with an established record of…
Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs) reuse the kinetic energy of an accelerated electron bunch by transferring it to a freshly injected bunch. This mechanism enables a large reduction in the RF…
As international scientists gathered online to discuss the Future Circular Collider (FCC) the University of Liverpool hosted the public event ’21st Century Particle Physics: discussions on Science and Faith’ at…
For the first time since the launch of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) feasibility study, the FCC physics community gathered online from 7 to 11 February to reflect the status and…
We are delighted to welcome 11 new PhD students to the Cockcroft Institute. Our new cohort joined us last autumn, and they have all been very busy settling into their…
A significant gender gap has persisted throughout the years at all levels of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines all over the world. Even though women have made tremendous…
The 31st Linear Accelerator Conference (LINAC) is coming to Liverpool this summer. The conference, hosted jointly by UKRI-STFC, the John Adams Institute and the Cockcroft Institute, will take place at…
The magazine Optics & Photonics News has published a report article about laser wakefield acceleration in its latest issue. The article features prominently the EuPRAXIA project as one of the…
