ONGOING AND UPCOMING EVENTS

Conceptual design review of ALICE 3 magnet held at CNPEM (Brazil)
- a major milestone

ALICE3 Magnet - Brazil
On 13–14 October 2026, CNPEM hosted the Conceptual Design Review (CDR) of the new 2T superconducting Central Solenoid for ALICE 3, organised jointly by the CNPEM team and the ALICE 3 Technical Coordination.  The chair of the review panel, Akira Yamamoto, was “very much impressed with the Conceptual Design work remarkably advanced at CNPEM in cooperation with CERN and consulted by CEA,” and congratulated the team on completing the ALICE 3 magnet CDR. A technical tour of CNPEM’s Sirius Synchrotron Light source facilities and activities complemented the sessions, offering the panel a direct view of the laboratory’s capabilities. The chair concluded by expressing confidence in CNPEM’s “potential to develop the ALICE 3 magnet with close cooperation with CERN in the coming 6 years".
