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 ...
A computer-generated image based on a generative diffusion process shows 2D projections of a particle accelerator beam. Starting from pure noise, signals from the accelerator adaptively guide the ...
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 ...
Laser physicists have built a novel hybrid plasma accelerator. Particle accelerators have become an indispensable tool for studies of the structure of matter at sub-atomic scales, and have important ...
In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted gave a demonstration on electricity to a class of advanced students at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Using an early battery prototype, he looked to see what ...
In 2016, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) approved the high-luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) upgrade project. LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle ...
