The CLIC technology for an electron flash therapy facility / Rossi, C (CERN) ; Angoletta, M E (CERN) ; Brunner, O (CERN) ; Bauche, J (CERN) ; Corsini, R (CERN) ; Cravero, J M (CERN) ; Doebert, S (CERN) ; Frisch, B (CERN) ; Granados, E (CERN) ; Grudiev, A (CERN) et al.
Abstract The “FLASH”effect has emerged as a subject of significant interest in the field of radiation oncology due to its potential to improve the therapeutic index of radiotherapy. Over the past three decades, CERN has been advancing accelerator technology centered on X-band radiofrequency (RF) systems. [...]

Electron-driven, pulsed neutron source / Wroe, Laurence (CERN) ; Wuensch, Walter (CERN) ; Latina, Andrea (CERN) ; Herrador, Javier Olivares (CERN) ; Stapnes, Steinar (CERN)
Abstract This article provides an overview of the VULCAN project and its potential to exploit high-gradient and X -band accelerator technology. VULCAN aims to develop a compact, $$35\,\hbox {MeV}$$ 35 MeV  electron-driven neutron source that is commercially viable for industrial and academic thermal neutron scattering applications [...]

Next‐Generation Electron Linear Accelerators for Compact Accelerator‐Driven Neutron Sources / Wroe, L M (CERN) ; Olivares‐Herrador, J (CERN) ; Wuensch, W (CERN) ; Latina, A (CERN) ; Stapnes, S (CERN)
Global access to neutron scattering is under increasing pressure as research reactors close and demand for spallation sources outpaces supply. Compact accelerator‐driven neutron sources (CANSs) offer a pathway to more distributed access, yet current designs are often limited by scale, cost, and performance, and no turnkey solutions presently exist. [...]

The forward physics facility: Physics opportunities and conceptual design / Anchordoqui, Luis A (Lehman Coll.) ; Anders, John Kenneth (Liverpool U.) ; Ariga, Akitaka (Bern U., LHEP ; Chiba U.) ; Ariga, Tomoko (Kyushu U., Fukuoka (main)) ; Asner, David (SNOLAB, Lively) ; Atkinson, Jeremy (Bern U., LHEP) ; Barr, Alan J (Oxford U.) ; Bartoszek, Larry (MIT) ; Batell, Brian (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Beck, Hans Peter (Bern U., LHEP ; Fribourg U.) et al.
The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is a proposed extension of the HL-LHC program designed to exploit the unique scientific opportunities offered by the intense flux of high energy neutrinos, and possibly new particles, in the far-forward direction. Located in a well-shielded cavern 627 m downstream of one of the LHC interaction points, the facility will support a broad and ambitious physics program that significantly expands the discovery potential of the HL-LHC.

Terbium thermal release from irradiated natTa and natTaC materials up to 2400 °C for mass separation and medical applications at CERN-MEDICIS / Kalnina, P (CERN ; Latvia U.) ; Mamis, E (CERN) ; Duchemin, C (CERN) ; Lambert, L (CERN) ; Aubert, E (CERN) ; Conan, N (CERN) ; Deschamps, M (CERN ; Unlisted, CH) ; Dorsival, A (CERN) ; Ruiz, F Ogallar (CERN) ; Theis, C (CERN) et al.
Tantalum is a promising target material to produce terbium (Tb), barium (Ba), lutetium (Lu) and other medically important radionuclides via 1.4 GeV proton beam delivered by the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster, especially for applications in cancer diagnostics and therapy. Terbium isotopes are gaining significant attention for their potential in theranostics. [...]

Coupling local and global rf feedback loops for macroparticle tracking simulations / Karlsen-Baeck, B E (Rome U. ; CERN) ; Argyropoulos, T (CERN) ; Flowerdew, J (CERN) ; Intelisano, L (CERN) ; Karpov, I (CERN) ; Lasheen, A (CERN) ; Timko, H (CERN)
Radio frequency (rf) control loops are vital components for the optimal operation of rf systems in synchrotron particle accelerators. Modeling these systems in macroparticle tracking simulations provides improved understanding of the complex interaction between the control loops, the beam-induced voltages in the rf cavities, and the circulating beam.

Development of radiation-tolerant beam imaging via multimode fiber and synthetic data-driven machine learning / Xu, Q (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; CERN ; U. Liverpool (main)) ; Zhang, H D (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; U. Liverpool (main)) ; Trad, G (CERN) ; Hill, A (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; U. Liverpool (main)) ; Roncarolo, F (CERN) ; Welsch, C P (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; U. Liverpool (main))
Transverse beam profile monitoring in high-radiation areas is challenging due to camera degradation. A proposed solution employs a multimode fiber (MMF) to relay optical signals from the radiation zone to a shielded area, where a standard CMOS camera can operate safely. [...]
