Conventional accelerators use oscillating electric fields to drive charged particles to relativistic speeds. The Large Hadron ...

On June 11, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine announced the result of a three-year study to set a ...

Conventional particle accelerators use radio-frequency cavities to create the high voltages needed to drive particles to near the speed of light. ... In their latest experiment, they irradiated the ...

Scientists have used particle accelerators to produce around 3,000 of these rare isotopes. The FRIB accelerator is 1,600 feet long and made of three segments folded in roughly the shape of a ...

Particle accelerators are big projects; they can’t be done by small teams of scientists working alone; they need big teams, lots of money and government support. Ernest Lawrence realized this ...

To observe this scenario, the researchers used a particle accelerator, CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron, to blast a ...

Particle physics is on the case. High-energy electron beams may be able to kill tumors 10 times deeper than current treatments can—without damaging vital organs. By Charlotte Lytton ...

One of the things that makes the main particle accelerator at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility unique is that it was the first linear accelerator to ...

Proton beams with giga-electron-volt (GeV) energies—once thought to be achievable only with massive particle accelerators—may soon be generated in compact setups thanks to a breakthrough by ...

Final results from a long-running U.S.-based experiment show a tiny particle continues to act strangely -- but that’s still ...

One of the things that makes the main particle accelerator at the U.S ... at near light-speed through super-cooled cryomodules—each containing eight SRF cavities—to blast into a chosen target ...

To observe this scenario, the researchers used a particle accelerator, CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron, to blast a high-intensity beam of protons into a stationary target.
