Linear accelerators (linacs) play a crucial role in particle therapy, particularly in the treatment of cancer. These devices accelerate charged particles, such as protons and heavy ions ...

Particle accelerators can be linear (straight) or circular in shape and have many different sizes. They can be tens of kilometres long or fit in a small room, but all accelerators feature four ...

This was considered the true birth of particle accelerators and in fact, the current generation of linear colliders are still relying on the same principle. Rolf Winderöe was the first to build ...

Linear accelerators (linacs ... waves in the frequency range used for wireless communications and particle acceleration. Accelerating Gradient: The rate at which energy is imparted to charged ...

While it may not sound like a major leap, this approach offers one big advantage: killing cancerous cells while doing less ...

As the massive 95-metric ton coldbox completed its cross-ocean journey, the crowd at Fermilab braving frigid winter ...

The particle accelerator's purpose was to deliver ... Originally, the design called for a room-temperature copper-based linear accelerator (and pulse stretcher ring) with an operating energy ...

Theoretical physicist James D Bjorken, whose work played a key role in revealing the existence of quarks, passed away on ...

His idea was simple: by bombarding the manuscript with X-ray photons fired at close to the speed of light using a particle accelerator called a synchrotron housed at the Stanford Linear ...
