MANDATE

- The ICE section carries out theoretical, simulation and experimental research in the dynamics of high-intensity and/or high-brightness particle beams.

- It analyses the collective effects limiting the performance of the PSB, PS, SPS and LHC accelerators, including beam coupling impedance, space charge, beam-beam and electron cloud.

- The team coordinates the machine studies of the PS and SPS complex, and it also contributes to the study effort for the upgrade of the LHC injectors and to R&D activities for CLIC, Neutrino factory and Beta Beams.
