Modulators, Klystrons & High-Gradient Structures (MKS) The Modulators, Klystrons & High-Gradient Structures (MKS) section at CERN is essential for the advancement of particle accelerator technology. We design, install, operate, and optimise high power radio-frequency systems for the LHC, Linac 4, and test facilities for future accelerators. Additionally, we develop electron beam acceleration systems for the CERN…

Low Level (LL)

Linacs, Injector Synchrotrons (LIS) As the particle beams travel through the chain of injectors from the source to the LHC, they periodically meet resonant accelerating cavities where they experience longitudinal electromagnetic fields of different frequencies and amplitudes, which provide them with an increase in energy and a particle bunch pattern. The LIS Section is responsible…
