Physicists have spent decades building colossal machines to hurl subatomic particles to near light speed, but the newest frontier in accelerator technology is smaller than a fingernail. By etching ...

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 ...

Scientists turned the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) back on after a three-year shutdown. The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest particle accelerator. Physicists and people interested in ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

Particle accelerators produce and accelerate beams of charged particles, such as electrons, protons and ions, of atomic and sub-atomic size. They are used not only in fundamental research for an ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

This system utilizes machine learning algorithms to optimize the operation of particle accelerators, reducing manual intervention and enhancing precision in real-time control. By integrating virtual ...
