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…
