CERN technologies: from fundamental research to our everyday lives. Since 1954, the world-class research performed at CERN helps uncover what the universe is made of and how it works: here, scientists from all over the world study elementary particles – invisible to the eye – through complex and often gigantic instruments.

At CERN, we probe the fundamental structure of particles that make up everything around us. We do so using the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments. This visual exhibition focuses mainly on photos, offers visitors the opportunity to explore CERN through 18 posters.

HRMT-60 - RaDIATE Material Studies Nicht eingeplant 3h CERN Poster Cocktail - Poster session Beschreibung HRMT-60 experiment was performed at the CERN-HiRadMat facility in October 2022 to understand thermal shock response of conventional materials and novel materials to support the design and operation of future multi-MW accelerator beam windows and secondary particle-production targets. This experiment, organized within the framework of the RaDIATE collaboration, builds on the previous HRMT-43 (BeGrid2) experiment, where a variety of materials in both non-irradiated and previously proton-irradiated conditions were tested. The primary goal was to understand the failure mechanisms, limits and flow behavior of the various material specimens, as well as compare and contrast the thermal shock response of previously irradiated materials to their non-irradiated counterparts. A total of 120 samples were tested at different beam conditions. This poster will present the preliminary results of several materials tested during this experiments.

In the SPS, reliable monitoring of the transverse beam position across the wide range of different beam structures and intensities is essential for the stable and efficient operation of the complex system of machines, facilities and experiments that receive beam. The current calibration method of the Beam Position Monitors (BPMs), using polynomial fit, suffers from systematic errors in the position measurements, which increase significantly for off-centered beams. These errors can lead to reduced control of the extraction angle and compromise the stability of the delivered beam in facilities like HiRadMat. The goal of this study is to develop a machine learning-based calibration method that will allow us to more accurately map the response of the BPM electronics, minimize the systematic errors and improve the precision of beam position measurements, and thus the beam delivery reproducibility, while containing algorithm complexity, in the SPS complex, and beyond

The differences in hadron chemistry observed at e+e- machines versus hadron colliders may indicate that the mechanisms by which partons evolve into visible matter are not universal. In particular, the presence of many other quarks produced in the underlying event may affect the hadronization process. With full particle ID, precision vertexing, and a high rate DAQ, the LHCb experiment is uniquely well suited to study the hadronization of heavy quarks. New results will be discussed in this contribution, including progress on studies of charm baryon enhancement in collisions.

The LHCb experiment’s forward acceptance offers a unique opportunity to study bulk physics in heavy-ion collisions. Properties of bulk particle production, such as the average transverse momentum of charged particles, are sensitive to both collective phenomena and the initial state of heavy-ion collisions. Bulk physics measurements in small collision systems can reveal the interplay between initial- and final-state effects in heavy-ion collisions, and can provide new insights into the origins of collective phenomena. In this contribution, new bulk physics measurements from the LHCb experiment will be presented.
