The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...

The infrastructure for the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) marked a significant logistical and technical development ...

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 ...

Particle accelerators have plenty to teach us about the mysterious forces and matter that makes up the universe, but these facilities aren't exactly portable, involving kilometers of tunnels and ...

Accelerator scientists are in demand at labs and beyond. While the supply of accelerator physicists in the United States has grown modestly over the last decade, it hasn’t been able to catch up with ...

How it could work: electrons are injected into the dielectric laser accelerator (centre) from a source at the top left. The cavities are within the turquoise and gold bars, which are illuminated with ...

Nuclear physics students at Norte Dame will soon get the chance to use a machine that will search for environmental toxins. It’s called an accelerator and it will be the third one to be installed on ...
