LEIR
Protons smash lead ions in first LHC collisions of 2013
Accelerator team declares "stable beams" as lead ions collide with protons in first LHC physics beams of 2013
The Low Energy Ion Ring
LEIR takes long pulses of lead ions from Linac 3 and transforms them into the short, dense bunches suitable for injection to the Large Hadron Collider
Proposal to use CERN accelerator for biomedical research
Discussions under way for possible re-use of LEIR accelerator
Could LEIR serve biomedicine?
At a recent brainstorming meeting at CERN, over 200 scientists discussed the possibility of modifying LEIR to serve the biomedical community
