To those who work in the accelerator field, it is obvious that there are many applications of accelerators beyond particle physics. Yet the public remains largely unaware of the far reaching uses of accelerators, or the scientific and engineering challenges that lay behind them. A recent project Particle Accelerators for Humanity has addressed this gap by creating a series of video resources, based on a programme of live events, short films and a specially commissioned animation. The project captured the dedication and diversity of those who design, operate and work with accelerators and highlights the varied ways in which their work is impacting on our lives. Here we overview the project and the resources, available under Creative Commons license, and discuss the impact of the project so far. We encourage the accelerator community to use the resources in their teaching and public engagement activities.

The Intense Beam Experiment (IBEX) is a linear Paul trap designed to replicate the dynamics of intense particle beams in accelerators. Similar to the S-POD apparatus at Hiroshima University, IBEX is a small scale experiment which has been constructed and recently commissioned at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. Its aim is to support theoretical studies of next-generation high intensity proton and ion accelerators, complementing existing computer simulation approaches. Here we report on the status of commissioning and first results obtained.
