Accelerator Beam Transfer Group
The ABT group is in charge of the design, development, construction, installation, exploitation and maintenance of injection and extraction related equipment and beam-transfer systems:
- Fast pulsed kicker magnets with their triggering systems, high voltage pulse generators and transmission lines;
- Electric field deflectors, electric and magnetic septa, including high voltage DC power supplies;
- Protection devices and other specialised injection/extraction related sub-systems;
- Associated equipment-level control systems and software.

Controls & Automation Technologies (CAT)
Controls & Automation Technologies (CAT) Welcome! At the CAT section, we believe that operating the world’s most complex scientific instruments requires not just cutting-edge technology, but diverse perspectives, creative thinking, and collaborative problem-solving. As a core part of CERN’s Accelerator Beam Transfer (ABT) group, our multi-disciplinary team of electrical, IT, and process automation engineers works…

Pulsed Power Generators (PPG)
Engineering: The section acts as the hub for pulsed power and high voltage engineering for kicker systems. The core engineering activities are conceptual design, calculation, simulation and specification of all electromagnetic, pulsed power and high voltage technologies used in CERN’s kickers. Research and Development: The section is responsible for ongoing development processes on existing ABT…
