Institutes

  • AIT, Vienna
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 24 April 2017
    • Addendum signed on 02 October 2017
      • This R&D project is carried out by AIT in the scope of the ARIES H2O2O project. The goal of this project is to develop an open reliability information system to provide a common platform for storing and sharing accelerator system reliability information. The project main deliverables are information system requirements, architecture and design that can be traced from each other. The work is accompanied by a prototyping activity that shall prove the concept and create a foundation for gathering reliability information about selected key systems.
  • HEPHY, Vienna
  • UIBK, Innsbruck
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 29 May 2019
    • Addendum signed on 2 August 2019
      • The scope of this collaboration is to perform Monte-Carlo Simulations of FCC concepts and computing software development for the FCC physics and experiment community.
  • NHM, Vienna
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 20 March 2017
    • Addendum signed on 29 March 2017
      • The collaboration with the National History Museum (NHM) will develop the concept, business and operation plan, artwork and legal framework for a mobile exhibition engaging the public in the vision of a post-LHC particle-collider based research infrastructure. The primary goal is to raise an interest in a post-LHC research infrastructure that would be designed, built and operated as a global effort of nations and organisations worldwide under European leadership. A secondary goal is the information about how technologies, knowledge and education are innovated in the wake of particle accelerator technology R&D and high-energy physics research. The exhibition shall give the population the opportunity to develop curiosity, to record spontaneous feedback, to permit obtaining more information, asking questions and expressing opinions after the visit. The exhibition shall be freely accessible. The scope of work includes the production of the visual material, artworks, contents and a pilot for demonstration purposes in the region around CERN.
  • TUWIEN, Vienna
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 28 July 2015
    • Addendum signed on 25 April 2016
      • The scope of this collaboration is to establish the correlation between the microstructure, the local superconducting properties and the resulting macroscopic performance of TI-based superconducting coatings. This will be achieved by performing a structural analysis of polycrystalline and textured TI-1223/121 films.
    • Addendum signed on 19 October 2016
      • The scope of this project is to establish the correlation between the microstructure, the local superconducting properties and the resulting macroscopic performance of superconductors for magnets. This will be achieved by performing a structural analysis of optimized Nb3Sn wires and studying superconducting properties of optimized Nb3Sn wires.
    • Addendum signed on 07 June 2018
      • The work will focus on the evaluation of the use of the CHARM mixed-field irradiation facility at CERN for qualification of FCC electronic components and systems, and will include both experimental and simulation activities. For the latter, a FLUKA Monte Carlo model of the facility will be exploited to describe the radiation environment and compare it to that expected in the FCC. The experimental work will mainly be devoted to dosimetry aspects in the mixed-field environment and its correlation to traditional cobalt-60 calibrations. 
  • UAS TW, Vienna
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 12 March 2018
    • Addendum signed on 15 February 2019
      • The scope of this collaboration is to study the Reaction Heat Treatment temperature homogenization of the reaction fixture based of the simultaneous heat treatment of the Nb3Sn coils.
  • MUL, Leoben
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 08 May 2018
    • Addendum signed on 30 November 2020
      • The scope of this collaboration is to test representative molasses rock samples located in the Franco-Genevois Basin via geotechnical and petrophysical laboratory analyses at Montanuniversität Leoben (MUL) in Leoben for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study at CERN.
  • WUW, Vienna
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 01 March 2017
    • Addendum signed on 21 July 2017
      • The Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (WUW) will perform research on the market potentials of MgB2 superconductor end-use applications in industry, transport, healthcare, telecommunications. The institute, applying a user community-based technological competence leveraging approach, will also explore silo-breaking application scenarios. The outcome of the research aims at identifying and evaluating the (new) fields of application in which the technology has realistic chances to create new markets or to gain relevant market share either through significant cost reduction of other advantages that make the technology more competitive than established technologies (e.g. less demands on cryogenics, easier production, better performances). ln addition, viable strategies to enter the newly identified markets will be proposed.
