The goal of LHCspin is to develop, in the next few years, innovative solutions and cutting-edge technologies to access the field of spin physics by exploring a unique kinematic regime and by exploiting new reaction processes. In fact, a polarized gaseous target, operated in combination with the high-energy, high-intensity LHC beamsand the highly performing LHCb particle detector, has the potential to open new physics frontiers and deepen our understanding of the intricacies of the strong interaction in the non-perturbative regime of QCD.

Neutral Meson and Direct Photon Measurements with ALICE at the LHC / Averyanov, D A (Kurchatov Inst., Moscow) /ALICE Collaboration
The ALICE experiment at the LHC is dedicated to the study of the hot and dense medium produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Direct photons provide an excellent tool for testing QCD predictions, and serve as a valuable source of information about thermodynamic properties of the hot matter created in nucleus–nucleus collisions.

Large-scale real-time signal processing in physics experiments: the ALICE TPC FPGA pipeline / ALICE TPC Collaboration
For LHC Run 3, the ALICE Time Projection Chamber was upgraded to operate in continuous readout mode. Interaction rates of up to 50 kHz in Pb-Pb collisions require real-time processing of more than 3 TB/s of raw detector data. [...]

Evaporative cooling system with natural refrigerant at -50 ℃ and 100 m underground / Barroca, Pierre (CERN) ; Hafner, Armin (Norwegian U. Sci. Tech.) ; Pardiñas, Ángel Álvarez ; Verlaat, Bart (CERN) ; Zwalinski, Lukasz (CERN) ; Hulek, Wojciech (CERN) ; Petagna, Paolo (CERN) ; Hanf, Pierre (CERN) ; Battistin, Michele (CERN)
The cooling systems of the future tracking detectors of both ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will be entirely based on CO$_{2}$ refrigeration technology. The system is a booster refrigeration system, composed of a two stage primary part with standard R744 equipment and a low temperature secondary loop i.e. [...]

Magnets for future colliders: the Muon Collider as a case study / Bottura, Luca (CERN)
The Muon Collider, one of the options considered for the future of particle physics at the energy frontier, poses many challenges to accelerator technology. The magnets for the muon beam production, acceleration and collision are one of the most demanding systems, for many reasons. [...]

Plasma wakefield acceleration and the AWAKE experiment at CERN / Gschwendtner, Edda (CERN)
The high gradient of plasma wakefield acceleration makes this technology very interesting for reducing the size (and cost) for future linear colliders. The idea is to use plasma to convert the transverse electric field of a drive bunch into a longitudinal electric field in the plasma. [...]

The BASE collaboration at the Antiproton Decelerator facility of CERN compares the fundamental properties of protons and antiprotons using advanced Penning-trap systems. In previous measurement campaigns, we measured the magnetic moments of the proton and the antiproton, reaching (sub-)parts-in-a-billion fractional uncertainty. [...]
