Just a few hundred feet from where we are sitting is a large metal chamber devoid of air and draped with the wires needed to control the instruments inside. A beam of particles passes through the ...

Sean Liddick receives funding from the Department of Energy . Artemis Spyrou receives funding from the National Science Foundation in the U.S. Just a few hundred feet from where we are sitting is a ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

This Collection showcases original research on linear accelerator (LINAC) technologies, covering topics from the design and optimisation of LINAC components and beam diagnostics, to emerging ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

Medical linear accelerators (linacs) have revolutionised cancer treatment by delivering precise high-energy photon and electron beams, yet the production of secondary neutrons remains a critical ...

The fully assembled prototype high-beta 650-megahertz cryomodule. Four of these will make up the final stage in Fermilab’s new linear accelerator. Patience and complexity are the hallmarks of ...

At the start of the 20th century scientists had little knowledge of the building blocks that form our physical world. By the end of the century they had discovered not just all the elements that are ...
