Since a wider aperture has been obtained along the Booster beam line, this opens the opportunity for Booster running a higher intensity beam than ever before. Sooner or later, the available RF accelerating voltage will become a new limit…
A test of the acceleration of multiple charge-state uranium beams was performed at the ATLAS accelerator. A 238U+26 beam was accelerated in the ATLAS PII linac to 286 MeV (~1.2 MeV/u) and stripped in a carbon foil located 0.5 m from the…
The second phase of the RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES-II) was conducted between 2019 and 2021. High statistics data was collected by the STAR experiment for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ from 7.7 to 27 GeV in collider mode and from 3 to…

We point out that even the most intense laser beams available today can provide only a very small fraction of the beam energy required to reach the design luminosity for a future e+e- linear collider. This fact seems to have been overlooked…
LHC upgrades are being considered both towards higher luminosity (HL-LHC) and towards higher energy (HE-LHC). In this paper we report initial studies of the beam-beam effects in the HE-LHC [1]. The HE-LHC aims at beam energies of 16.5 TeV,…
A muon collider could produce the heavier Standard Model particles with a boost, for example in resonant processes such as $\mu^-\mu^+\to h$ or $\mu^-\mu^+\to Z$. We propose machine configurations that produce the boost (asymmetric beam…
