Alessandro Bertarelli

Alessandro Bertarelli is a Researcher at CERN, specializing in accelerator physics and advanced magnet technology. He is actively involved in the International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC) and plays a key role in developing superconducting magnets and collimation systems for high-energy particle accelerators. His work focuses on advancing technologies for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) and future colliders like the Muon Collider and Future Circular Collider (FCC).

His research interests include beam dynamics, collimation system design, high-field superconducting magnets, and material testing under extreme conditions. Bertarelli has contributed to numerous projects, including the conceptual design of 40 T solenoids for muon colliders, experimental validation of collimator materials at CERN’s HiRadMat facility, and studies on FCC-hh collimation systems. He collaborates with institutions worldwide, including SLAC, Brookhaven, and universities in Malta, Rome, and Kyoto.

Key contributions include advancing ReBCO (Rare-earth Barium Copper Oxide) magnet technology, optimizing collimation performance for HL-LHC, and developing methodologies for testing high-performance materials under proton irradiation. His work bridges theoretical models with experimental validation, ensuring robustness and safety in next-generation accelerators.

Bertarelli has authored over 100 publications, focusing on accelerator components, magnet design, and beam-collimator interactions. His research aims to push the boundaries of accelerator technology, enabling future discoveries in particle physics while addressing challenges in beam stability, material durability, and energy efficiency.
