Modulators, Klystrons & High-Gradient Structures (MKS)
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

Linacs, Injector Synchrotrons (LIS)
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

Servos & Controls Interface (CS)
Servos & Controls Interface (CS) The CS section is responsible for the design and implementation of control systems for RF equipments as well as interlocks and protection systems, ranging from large systems like LHC Superconducting cavities (ACS) and LINAC4 power stations to medium systems like PS main RF system to small test places like SM18

Beams & RF Studies (BR)
Beams & RF Studies (BR) The BR section deals with the interactions of beams with RF systems and their environment, primarily in the longitudinal plane. We work on almost all CERN synchrotrons (PSB, PS, SPS, LHC, ELENA, LEIR, …), with proton, anti-proton and ion beams, often from a Local Control Room (Faraday cage) or the

Amplifiers & Couplers (AC)
Amplifiers & Couplers (AC) The AC section is working on various highly exciting high power RF systems and on all related topics, such as : The beauty of RF power is that it includes all kind of technologies: Radio Frequency, electricity, electronic, mechanic, fluid, vacuum, thermodynamic, … and we have to (try to) be experts in
