CI researchers work on particle accelerators which are some of the largest structures in the world – the LHC at CERN is 27 km around and there are plans for an even larger 100 km successor. But CI researchers also work on making accelerators as small as possible, which would have a hu

Pavel Juarez-Lopez joined the Cockcroft Institute in October 2016 as a Ph.D. student jointly appointed by the University of Liverpool and ASTeC to research the performance of photocathode electron sources for high-brightness beams.  He is now coming to the end of his studies havi

Prof Graeme Burt has taken over from Dan Faircloth as the chair of the Particle Accelerator Engineering Network. The network is jointly supported by IET, IMechE, IoP and STFC but is officially located within the IET as a particle accelerator engineering community. The group was co-fou

In the context of the current global Covid-19 pandemic, interfacing, interactions and collaborations are most certainly being challenged in terms of groups finding ways to maintain ongoing and effective engagements. Organisers for Conferences, Workshops and large meetings are having t

Scientists, engineers and technicians from the UK have embarked on a £26M project to help upgrade the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, on the French/Swiss border near Geneva. The collaboration is between the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), CERN, the Cockcroft Ins
