In modern proton accelerators, the survivability of beam-intercepting devices, such as targets, beam windows and beam dumps, under intense beam irradiation is a key factor limiting the achievement of higher beam power. To address this global challenge, Radiation Damage in Accelerator Target Environments (RaDIATE) collaboration was established, with Fermilab acting as the leading institution....
Growing demands on accelerator performance, together with recent advances in computational sciences, provide a remarkable opportunity to rethink how CERN’s accelerator complex is operated. Moving beyond traditional approaches, greater automation and improved optimisation methods promise measurable benefits, including reduced costs and energy use, shorter setup times, consistent beam quality,...
