Issue 9 of Accelerating news is now available online. From the editors:

In this spring issue, we look at new developments on High Temperature Superconductors for future accelerator magnets and the "crab-kissing" concept for maximizing the quality of the physics data which will be delivered by the High Luminosity LHC. We update you about successful achievements at the Swiss Light Source and at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

We find out about modern hadron therapy Gantry developments and progress towards the construction of a new synchrotron light source in Jordan. Finally, we report on the FCC study Kick-off meeting and the conference ICTR-PHE 2014, both held in Geneva.

In the headlines we’ve collected stories on the approval of HL-LHC project by the CERN Council and the successful end of EuCARD. We learn about a new office for medical research at CERN. Recent approaches for siting the FCC in a 270-km tunnel in the US and a light-source free-electron laser driven by CLIC technology are also highlighted.
