CROME has been completely deployed at SPS
The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is the second-largest machine in CERN’s accelerator complex. Measuring nearly 7 kilometres in circumference, it takes particles from the Proton Synchrotron and accelerates them to provide beams for the Large Hadron Collider, the NA61/SHINE and NA62 experiments, the COMPASS experiment. After the complete decommissioning of ARCON, CROME took over the…

Open position for an Electronics Engineer (Internship)
Electronics Engineer CERN designs, develops and operates particle accelerators and experiments for scientific research to understand the fundamental laws of the universe. These activities may generate stray radiation due to the interaction between beams and matter. The radiation detectors installed close to the various beam lines and targets allow CERN to accurately monitor radiation levels.…

Shutdown of last ARCON/GROAC
Congratulations ! “After ~30 years of service the last ARCON/GROAC was shut down on 5th August 2020 at SM18. Next to it, the successor taking over, the first fully fledged CROME installation at CERN – including interlocks and alarm transmission. This step became possible thanks to many people involved in maintaining the system over many…
