Understanding of the LHC warm vacuum module heating
/ Krkotic, Patrick (CERN) ; Baglin, Vincent (CERN) ; Chiggiato, Paolo (CERN) ; Papaphilippou, Yannis (CERN) ; Rumolo, Giovanni (CERN) ; Antuono, Chiara (CERN ; Rome U.) ; Bregliozzi, Giuseppe (CERN) ; Calatroni, Sergio (CERN) ; de la Fuente, Elena (CERN ; Madrid, Polytechnic U.) ; Galloro, Alessio (Calabria U. ; CERN) et al.
During the third run of the Large Hadron Collider in 2023, which had the highest intensity bunch population compared to previous runs, increased losses attributed to pressure spikes within a warm vacuum sector triggered a beam dump. Subsequent inspections revealed localised annealing and plasticisation of the tension spring in the sliding contact radio-frequency finger module, alongside traces of vapour deposition on the various module components with the stainless-steel spring material.

Laser-induced periodic surface structuring for secondary electron yield reduction of copper: dependence on ambient gas and wavelength
/ Nivas, Jijil JJ (INFN, Naples ; Naples U. ; U. Naples (main) ; CNR-SPIN, Naples) ; Hu, Meilin (U. Naples (main)) ; Valadan, Mohammadhassan (INFN, Naples ; Naples U.) ; Salvatore, Marcella (U. Naples (main) ; Naples U.) ; Fittipaldi, Rosalba (INFN, Naples ; Naples U. ; U. Salerno (main)) ; Himmerlich, Marcel (CERN) ; Bez, Elena (CERN ; Leipzig U.) ; Rimoldi, Martino (CERN) ; Passarelli, Andrea (INFN, Naples ; Naples U.) ; Oscurato, Stefano L (U. Naples (main)) et al.
One of the main limitations for future high-performance accelerators operating with positively charged particles is the formation of an electron-cloud inside the beam vacuum chamber, giving rise to instabilities. The Secondary Electron Yield (SEY) of the beam-facing surfaces gives a measure of the mechanism which drives this phenomenon. [...]

RF characterisation of laser treated copper surfaces for the mitigation of electron cloud in accelerators
/ Krkotic, Patrick (CERN) ; Calatroni, Sergio (CERN) ; Abdolvand, Amin (Dundee U.) ; Perez Fontenla, Ana Teresa (CERN) ; Neupert, Holger (CERN) ; Himmerlich, Marcel (CERN) ; Wackerow, Stefan (Dundee U.)
In accelerator beam chambers and RF waveguides, electron cloud and multipacting can be mitigated effectively by reducing the secondary electron yield (SEY). In recent years, it has been established that laser surface structuring is a very efficient method to create a copper surface with SEY close to or even below unity. [...]

- CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
/ Abend, Sven (Leibniz U., Hannover); Allard, Baptiste (LCAR, Toulouse); Alonso, Iván (Balearic Islands U.); Antoniadis, John (Crete U.); Araújo, Henrique (Imperial Coll., London); Arduini, Gianluigi (CERN); Arnold, Aidan S. (SUPA, UK ; Strathclyde U.); Aßmann, Tobias (Ulm U.); Augst, Nadja (DLR, Neustrelitz); Badurina, Leonardo (King's Coll. London ; Caltech) et al.
This document presents a summary of the 2023 Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry Workshop hosted by CERN. The workshop brought together experts from around the world to discuss the exciting developments in large-scale atom interferometer (AI) prototypes and their potential for detecting ultralight dark matter and gravitational waves.

Performance of high-temperature superconducting REBCO coated conductors under synchrotron irradiation for future circular colliders
/ Krkotić, Patrick (CELLS - ALBA, LLS ; Barcelona, Polytechnic U.) ; Traver, Oriol (CELLS - ALBA, LLS) ; Tagdulang, Nikki (CELLS - ALBA, LLS ; Barcelona, Polytechnic U.) ; Calatroni, Sergio (CERN) ; Manuel O’Callaghan, Juan (Barcelona, Polytechnic U.) ; Pont, Montse (CELLS - ALBA, LLS)
The influence of medium-to-high energy synchrotron radiation (SR) (≈10–100 keV) produced by the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source on state-of-the-art REBCO coated conductors (CCs) has been studied to assess the feasibility of using high-temperature superconductors for the beam screen of future circular colliders. Long-term irradiation studies were conducted with ex-situ surface resistance testing by using a dielectric resonator. [...]

Dielectric resonator to measure surface resistance of accelerator components at room temperature and 77 K
/ Brunner, Kristóf (CERN) ; Krkotić, Patrick (CERN) ; Pinto, Pedro Costa (CERN) ; Diaz-Rato, Eduardo Gibbons (CERN) ; Pfeiffer, Stephan (CERN) ; Vollenberg, Wilhelmus (CERN) ; Calatroni, Sergio (CERN) ; Barna, Dániel (Wigner RCP, Budapest) ; Pont, Montse (CELLS - ALBA, LLS) ; O'Callaghan, Joan (Barcelona, Polytechnic U.)
We measured the surface resistance of titanium, amorphous carbon, and nonevaporable getter (NEG) coatings on copper samples, representative of surface treatments of beam-facing components in the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Measurements were done at room temperature as well as at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) by means of a novel large dielectric resonator operating at 3.4 GHz. [...]
