A Helium Ion Linear Accelerator Optimised for Astatine Production / Vretenar, Maurizio (CERN) ; Lombardi, Alessandra (CERN) ; Nikitovic, Lazar (CERN ; Riga Tech. U.)
This paper presents the design of a linear accelerator optimised for the production of astatine-211, one of the most effective theragnostics isotopes for targeted alpha therapy of cancer (TAT). When attached to a carrier molecule that selectively binds to cancer cells, this powerful alpha emitter enables highly localised cell damage. [...]

Gamma Factory: A New Experimental Paradigm for CERN's HL-LHC--FCC-ee Transition / Krasny, Mieczyslaw Witold (LPNHE, Paris ; CERN)
The Gamma Factory (GF) proposal \cite{Krasny:2015ffb} is motivated by the recognition of a largely untapped potential of the CERN accelerator complex to enable a new research programme at the intersection of particle, nuclear, atomic, fundamental, and applied physics. [...]

FCC― 次世代円形衝突型加速器 / OIDE, Katsunobu (CERN ; U. Geneva (main) ; KEK, Tsukuba)
FCC is a project for a next generation circular collider based at CERN, as the next step of LEP/LHC experiments. It will have at least two stages : (i) measurements on electroweak (Z/W), Higgs, tt by e+e- collision (FCC-ee) and (ii) energy frontier pp collision (FCC-hh) up to 100 TeV center of mass (CM) energy. Both will be performed by colliders in the same tunnel with 90–100 km circumference built around the Geneva area across the Swiss-French border..
