| Forecasting the LINAC3 Ion Beam Current
In the last decade or so, the main attraction at CERN has been the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which was indispensable to the discovery of the Higgs boson, as well as that of many other particles.[1] The LINAC3 is an integral part of the CERN accelerator complex, as it provides the initial ion b |

| The ATLAS Detector as a Muon Fixed-Target Experiment: Using Generative Models to Simulate Muonic Force Carriers
Greater luminosities of future Large Hadron Collider runs will demand an unprecedented number of event simulations. Computationally that would be an extremely demanding task. Hence new approaches for such undertakes are required. |
