Beam gas curtain monitor becomes an operational instrument for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider | Accelerating News
By Hao Zhang (Cockcroft Institute/University of Liverpool) on Accelerating News Following a positive evaluation during a review of transverse beam profile monitoring for the HiLumi LHC in September 2025, in February 2026 the BGC monitor was approved as an important addition to the beam instrumentation baseline for the HiLumi era. “It’s a huge success and

First series RFD crab cavity on the road to cryomodule assembly
The first dressed series RF dipole crab cavity, RFD02, has been successfully delivered to TRIUMF, Canada, from JLAB, USA. This begins the cavity’s journey towards cryostating, when it will be integrated – along with the second dressed series cavity expected to arrive still in the first half of 2026 – into the first series cryomodule.

Half of the US-AUP magnet production at CERN
At the end of October we received two more magnets from Fermilab (CA03 and CA05). With these deliveries, half of the units from the US are at CERN! They join the other three magnets already received: CA01 and CA02 for the IT String, and CA04.
