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 ...

Innovative machine learning techniques are rapidly transforming particle accelerator physics by integrating advanced data analytics with established accelerator models. This integration has led to ...

Linear accelerators have become an indispensable component in the advancement of particle therapy, offering precise control over the delivery of ionising radiation for cancer treatment. The field ...

In a joint effort, UCSC and UCSC Extension this month are sponsoring the U.S. Particle Accelerator School, a national graduate program held at leading universities across the country that provides ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...

We only recently figured out where cosmic rays are coming from. Cern's Large Hadron Collider routinely collides particles at energies equivalent to a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, but a ...

China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.
