New technologies from Norway's activities at CERN

Fundamental research makes a strong contribution to the development of cutting-edge technologies. This is an essential part of our work and is integrated into all of our research activities.

Plasma lens

Plasma and accelerator technology

Developing a new paradigm for particle acceleration with active plasma lenses and plasma Wakefield acceleration technologies

Dose delivery studies apparatus

Medical technology

Development of systems for better focusing of particle beams for proton therapy; ultra-high dose rate radiotherapy (FLASH radiotherapy); continuous measurement and mapping of radiation doses in two-dimensional planes; new unstable isotopes (radioisotopes) for use in medical treatment

Analysis code

Artificial intelligence and exascale computing

Cutting-edge developments in AI-based analysis and anomaly detection, distributed computing and data management, scientific software.

Plasma lens

Sensors, detectors, lasers, and quantum technology
