The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) will reuse most of the existing hardware from the RHIC rings. However, extensive modifications will have to be performed in preparation for the new accelerator parameters and performance required by EIC. The beam vacuum chamber will have to be upgraded and new beam position monitors (BPM) implemented to account for the higher beam...
In 2023, the Pb-Pb run in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) took place during the last five weeks of operation at a record beam energy of 6.8 Z TeV. It marked the first heavy-ion run of Run 3, following a two-day test that took place in 2022 to verify some key machine and beam upgrades. The 2023 run profited for the first time of higher beam intensities than the previous runs and of machine...
In the SuperKEKB/Belle-II experiment, a multitude of elementary particle reactions is initiated through the collision of 4 GeV positrons with 7 GeV electrons, paving the way for the exploration of new physics. The experiment includes plans for the substantial enhancement of luminosity in the future, aiming to achieve an integrated luminosity approximately 100 times the current level. However,...
