Karlsruhe Research Accelerator, KITTEN, Energy Lab 2.0 - EURO-LABS video.
videoThe European Research Council (ERC) funds the development of a key technology for the Einstein Telescope (ET) – the proposed next-generation European gravitational-wave detector. The project GRAVITHELIUM aims to push the sensitivity of cryogenic laser interferometers to fundamental limits using superfluid helium to solve a central challenge in observing gravitational waves of the entire universe. At IBPT, Steffen Grohmann also leads the groups of Superconducting System Technology and Insertion Devices.
moreThe ErUM-Pro Verbund project "High-temperature superconducting magnet technology – experiments & simulations" (HTS-ES) will be funded from July 2024 for 3 years in the framework of the Verbundforschung (collaborative research) at KIT and TU Darmstadt. KIT will coordinate the Verbund and concentrate on "HTS magnet technology for sustainable accelerators" (HTS-CRYO) and TU Darmstadt on "Calculating transient effects in HTS coils using a reduced-magnetic-vector-potential formulation" (HTS-RMVP) with PSI and CERN.
moreIn numbers: 6 incl. 2 overview talks, 2 posters incl. 1 of project partner TU Darmstadt, in 5 days presenting accelerator test facilities, compact diagnostics, HTS magnets, particle and optical phase space, mathematics, and dosimetry for radiation therapy.
