How I became a CERN Accelerator School teacher
How I became a CERN Accelerator School teacher In the rapidly evolving world of accelerator science, progress depends not only on innovation but also on education — the kind that bridges theory, technology, and international collaboration. Specialised schools like the CERN Accelerator School (CAS) ensure that knowledge in this field is not merely preserved but

A CAS course on advancing cancer therapy with particle accelerators
A CAS course on advancing cancer therapy with particle accelerators What is not widely known is that, of the almost 47’000 particle accelerators in operation around the world, only 6% are destined for research (0.5% for particle physics). The remaining 94% of accelerators worldwide are built for medical and industrial applications. We are surrounded by

A Journey of Discovery: How CAS transformed my career and perspective
A Journey of Discovery: How CAS transformed my career and perspective His learning journey at CERN has been anything but linear—starting with superconducting magnet technology and quench phenomena before shifting towards beam dynamics parameters. However, one constant throughout this path has been the CERN Accelerator School (CAS), which played a pivotal role in expanding his

Happy 70 anniversary, CERN!!!!
Happy 70 anniversary, CERN!!!! As we cannot celebrate together, we have prepared a special Happy Birthday greeting from Spain, where we are currently hosting our Introductory CERN Accelerator School – CAS course. The history of accelerators at CERN is exceptional, with the organisation currently operating the largest and most powerful collider in the world. In
