TSUNAMI
TSUNAMI Internal Software to help surveyor with the measurement acquisitions. This is one of the main software used to pilot survey instruments such as laser trackers and total stations, for data acquisition and survey in-field works i.e position measurement or adjustments.

AD
TheAntiproton Decelerator (AD) is a unique machine that produces low-energy antiprotons for studies of antimatter, and “creates” antiatoms.

SPS
SPS The Super Proton Synchrotron is the second-largest machine in CERN’s accelerator complex provides a stepping stone between the Proton Synchrotron and the LHC Super Proton Synchrotron

PS
PS A key component of CERN’s accelerator complex, it most often accelerates protons supplied by The Synchrotron Proton Booster or heavy ions from the LEIR. Throughout its history, the PS has juggled with particles of all kinds, either to inject the beams directly in experiments, or for more powerful accelerators. Read more Proton Synchrotron

BOOSTER
BOOSTER The Proton Synchrotron Booster consists of four overlapping synchrotron rings that receive beams of negative hydrogen ions (H-ions, i.e., a hydrogen atom and an additional electron) from Linac4 with an energy of 160 MeV. Read more

LEIR
LEIR The LEIR separates each of the long lead ion pulses received from Linac3 into four shorter packages. It takes about 2.5 seconds for the LEIR to speed up packets, in groups of two, from 4.2 MeV to 72 MeV. The ions then have the energy required to be sent to the Proton Synchrotron (PS).

LINAC4
LINAC4 Linear Accelerator 4 is designed to carry negative hydrogen ions to high energies. It became the proton beam source for the LHC in 2020. Linac4 carries negative hydrogen ions (H-ions, a hydrogen atom and an additional electron) at the energy of 160 MeV before transmitting them to the Synchrotron Proton Booster, which is part
