BIG SCIENCE

Pushing the boundaries of what magnets technology can do

The term ‘Big Science’ refers to large-scale scientific research projects that require collaboration between numerous researchers and international institutions. These projects, such as those at CERN, Fermilab, GSI, JINR and INFN, address fundamental scientific questions and employ advanced technologies and interdisciplinary approaches.

ASG Superconductors, as a world leader in superconducting technology, has formed partnerships with these institutions, supplying a range of magnetic systems – from quadrupoles to cyclotrons and detectors – designed and built in-house. Our unique expertise, commitment to total quality and close synergy between engineering and production have transformed these collaborations into success stories, contributing to the achievement of significant scientific milestones such as the discovery of the Higgs boson.

We therefore continue to tackle future research challenges that require even more sophisticated and energy-efficient magnetic systems, leveraging our expertise combined with continuous investment and research and development, such as the MgB2 superconducting material that we produce in a dedicated factory, controlling the entire production process and the acquisition of raw materials through a “short supply chain” that is not dependent on Asia.
