Uppsala University has signed a 20 million Swedish kronor (€2m) deal to upgrade the particle accelerator at Cern, the Geneva-based particle physics facility.
The work to upgrade Cern’s Large Hadron Collider will be done at Uppsala University’s Freia Laboratory, under the department of physics and astronomy, the university announced on 3 November.
The Freia laboratory, which was founded in 2011, has a large horizontal crystostat that can be used to test superconducting equipment necessary for upgrading the LHC.
