High Energy Physics

Luvata Superconductors has a long and prestigious history of participation in important international development projects for the study of particle physics.  In this field, more commonly known as High Energy Physics, research is focused on the behaviour and dynamics  of elementary particles  under experimental conditions and it is within this framework that Luvata has supplied NbTi superconducting wires and cables as well as copper hollow conductors to  projects such as  HERA at DESY Hamburg,  90% of the superconductor supplied to the Tevatron accelerator, located in Fermilab, Chicago, Illinois, to the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), the world’s unprecedented energetic particle accelerator,  CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) and ATLAS experimental detectors, all located at CERN of Geneva. Luvata has also supplied Nb3Sn wires for  ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor).  Luvata will continue  in the future to participate in new and challenging experiments in the realm of High Energy Physics.
