First positrons for GBAR
First positrons for GBAR BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://ep-news.web.cern.ch//content/first-positrons-gbar) At the CERN Antimatter Factory, antihydrogen atoms are produced routinely by merging antiprotons and positrons. In order to control this process, it is necessary to reduce the energy of those particles, i.e. decelerate them to the lowest possible energies. The antiprotons are generated

The new proton & mixed-field Irradiation facility at CERN PS
The new proton & mixed-field Irradiation facility at CERN PS Irradiation is the process by which an object is exposed to radiation. Although this term is fairly generic, the performing of irradiation experiments has a very important meaning for the PH department. In fact, the PH department is deeply involved in radiation tolerance testing since
