Read more about the article First Positrons in the FCC-ee Positron Production Experiment (P3) at SwissFEL

First Positrons in the FCC-ee Positron Production Experiment (P3) at SwissFEL

  • Post published:12. August 2026
  • Post category:Allgemein/Breakthrough

For the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee), particular attention is drawn to the crucial role of the positron source. The almost universal usage of target-based production schemes combined with conventional capture…
