Superconducting Case: CERN
We partnered with CERN to go 525 million kilometers
CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, is the World's largest particle physics centre. At CERN, scientists study the building blocks of matter and the forces that hold them together. Particle accelerators are the primary research tools, and we partnered with CERN to build the largest accelerator ever.
Our primary role was to provide superconducting wire for the dipole and quadrupole magnets, two of the most important components. The requirement was nothing short of perfection: 2,280 km of cable, with 36 strands per cable, with 6,400 filaments per strand - all supplied to the most exacting specifications.
CERN has recognised the value of cooperation with a series of awards, given to Luvata for our continuing contribution to science.
