Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...
LCLS-II is the new superconducting element of SLAC’s longstanding particle accelerator. It’ll accelerate elections to produce X-rays that are 10,000 times brighter than its predecessor, LCLS (Linac ...
Stochastic Cooling of Particle Beams, by Dieter Möhl, is a remarkably thorough treatment of a technique that remains central ...
The Klystron Gallery at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California stretches an astonishing 1.9 miles and could be ...
Energy that would normally go to waste inside powerful particle accelerators could be used to create valuable medical isotopes, scientists have found. Researchers at the University of York have shown ...
