In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los ...

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 ...

The Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory set a world record when its particle accelerator beam operating power reached 1.7 megawatts. Reaching the 1.7 megawatts of power ...

Jefferson Lab Senior SRF Accelerator Physicist Haipeng Wang displays the core of a cavity magnetron during an April 2024 lab tour. NEWPORT NEWS, VA - A pocket-size gizmo that puts the “pop” in ...

China’s decision to halt work on what was meant to be the world’s largest particle accelerator marked a sharp turn in the ...

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 ...

Radio frequency (RF) systems form the cornerstone of modern particle accelerators, providing the electromagnetic fields necessary to accelerate charged particles to high energies. These systems ...

In preparing for a talk on the relationship between House Speakers and the Rules Committee (subtitled, “The Speaker’s Committee?”), I took the occasion to reread two Congressional Research Service ...

A new study offers direct evidence showing where near-light speed particle acceleration occurs inside the largest explosion known in the solar system, the solar flare. Solar flares are among the most ...
