U.S. Magnet Development Project for CERN Particle Collider Upgrade Moves Forward

Photo - The HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project magnets use conductors made of niobium-tin to generate a stronger magnetic field compared to predecessor technology. These world-record-setting magnets will have their debut in the HL-LHC: Its run will be the first time that U.S.-built niobium-tin magnets will be used in a particle accelerator for particle physics research.

Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Monitoring Capabilities Still in Use 10 Years After Fukushima Earthquake and Nuclear Power Plant Disaster

Image - A 3D cesium-137 contamination map in a bamboo forest in the Fukushima region obtained in 2017. This map was produced within 15 minutes using Berkeley Lab’s Scene Data Fusion technologies. The technologies provide detailed information about radioisotope-specific contamination critical in assessing the radiation and in guiding decontamination efforts, as well as making radiation “visible” in three dimensions to aid the understanding of citizens and communities.

A COSMIC Approach to Nanoscale Science

Rendering - At the COSMIC Microscopy beamline, researchers probed the oxidation state of the chemical element cerium using scanning transmission x-ray microscopy (STXM) under operando conditions. It was a first demonstration of this capability at COSMIC. The results confirmed how cerium particles dictated the size and locations of the reaction sites of platinum particles. In this artistic depiction, hybrid CeOX-TiO2 nanoparticles (silver spheres) are shown evenly covered with platinum and cerium pairs (yellow and blue) while conventional titanium dioxide particles are shown less densely covered with larger platinum clusters (gold).
