If one particle accelerator alone is not enough to achieve the desired result, why not combine two accelerators? Physicists have now implemented this idea. They combined two plasma-based acceleration ...
When it comes to making groundbreaking discoveries in particle physics, scientists rely on large particle accelerators to conduct advanced experiments. These powerful machines use long tracks and ...
Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...
Particle accelerators, also known as particle colliders or atom smashers, have been responsible for some of the most exciting physics findings over the past century, including the discovery of the ...
NEWPORT NEWS, VA – More than 30 of the world’s most advanced particle accelerators for research are built on one technology: superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology. It’s typically powered by ...
Twenty-five feet below ground, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory scientist Spencer Gessner opens a large metal picnic basket. This is not your typical picnic basket filled with cheese, bread and ...
