At Hannover Messe’s Future Hub, the KITTEN test field at KIT attracted high-profile guests, including KIT President Professor Dr. Jan S. Hesthaven and Federal Minister for Education and Research Cem Özdemir. They explored how KITTEN enables real-world testing of scalable, energy-efficient solutions for large-scale research infrastructures, advancing the transition to sustainable energy.
Test center KITTEN for sustainable technologies on all scales will be one of the main KIT topics at Hannover Messe 2025, March 31st-April 4th.
KITTEN combines two of KIT’s major research infrastructures - the Energy Lab and the KARA accelerator test facility.

The article describes a very fast code to speed-up machine learning simulations and applications in particle accelerator physics. The code was developed by two PhD students, Jan Kaiser and Chenran Xu from IBPT, who both contributed equally. Now also other international accelerator centers contribute to the code. The article was hand-picked as one out of ten in 2024 in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams (PRAB).
