JAI Student Visit to CERN 2025

The current JAI first-year graduate students have worked on a design project for HALHF – the Hybrid Asymmetric Linear Higgs Factory. The HALHF concept is based on a hybrid design in which positrons are accelerated to 31 GeV in a conventional linac, which also provides the drive beams for a plasma-wakefield arm that accelerates electrons to 500 GeV. The energies are selected to produce Higgs particles in conjunction with Z bosons.The students studied aspects of the HALHF lattice, magnet systems, and RF cavity system. As part of their training, the students went to CERN on 11 July 2025 to visit some of CERN’s accelerator facilities and to deliver a seminar on their design project.
