Particle accelerators are the engines of particle physics research at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. They generate nearly light-speed, subatomic particles that scientists study to get to the ...

US researchers have successfully accelerated and stored the first proton beams inside a specialized ...

IOTA, the new test accelerator, gives researchers rich and varied opportunities to dive deep into the physics of particle beams. On August 21, a beam of electrons successfully circulated for the first ...

Using off-the-shelf industrial parts, a team of researchers from the public and private sectors has created a prototype of a small particle accelerator that could have a big impact bringing the ...

Riding the wave: electrons being accelerated by a laser pulse. (Courtesy: Cockcroft Institute of Accelerator Science) Accelerator physicists in five European countries are developing plans for the ...

Plasma waves — collective oscillations of electrons on a background of heavier, stationary ions — are intrinsic characteristics of plasmas. The oscillating electrons lead to a charge separation in the ...

Scientists have developed a new machine-learning platform that makes the algorithms that control particle beams and lasers smarter than ever before. Their work could help lead to the development of ...

The MYRRHA project in Belgium is seeking enthusiastic scientists, engineers and project managers with a talent for cross-disciplinary collaboration Big science, big vision: the MYRRHA project provides ...

When we talk about particle accelerators, the idea of enormous machines with the size of a warehouse and located inside underground tunnels often comes into mind. However, scientists at Stanford and ...

With the new trilateral master's program “Particle Accelerator Science” the Rhine-Main Universities are pooling their expertise in accelerator science, which is unique in Europe. Starting in the ...
