The Future Circular Collider: Its potential and lessons learnt from the LEP and LHC experiments

Stephen Myers reviews the lessons learnt from the LEP experiments, ahead of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) programme which will aid researchers in particle physics

As researchers seek to learn more about the fundamental nature of our universe, new generations of particle accelerators are now in development in which beams of particles collide ever more precisely and at ever higher energies. Professor Stephen Myers, former Director of Accelerators & Technology at CERN and currently Executive Chair of ADAM SA, identifies both the positive and negative […]

Optimising Particle Accelerators with Adaptive Machine Learning

Alexander Scheinker introduces new techniques based on machine learning.

Machine learning has become a staple of research into many of today’s most cutting-edge technologies. Until now, however, it has not been widely considered as a useful tool for online optimisation of the performance of particle accelerators. Through his research, Dr Alexander Scheinker at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA, introduces new techniques based on machine learning, […]
