The HTS bulk undulator project recently achieved the specifications for the magnetic field strength of its 10 mm period and 4.0 mm diameter aperture hard x-ray undulator. Designed for the new microscopy…
Optics developments with CFMs show promising results to improve the FCC-ee performance and efficiency. The FCC-ee project envisions a double-ring lepton collider in a new tunnel with a circumference of…
As one of the first CHART projects, MagDev at PSI designed and built a canted-cosine theta (CCT) demonstrator magnet, wound from Nb3Sn conductor. Lasting from February 2017 to October 2019,…
The mission of the CHART-Collaboration is to support the FCC project at CERN. On December 10 the Swiss Federal Council announced next steps to increase the Swiss support for CERN…
