“In accelerator physics ... SPS isn’t a thick donut, but it is still a real life donut, rather than a circle in a geometry ...

Machine learning is transforming the control of particle accelerators, enabling "autonomous driving" for these complex systems. Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics and Xiamen University ...

When you think of a particle accelerator, you usually think of some giant cyclotron with heavy-duty equipment in a massive mad-science lab. But scientists now believe they can create particle ...

A 2,000-year-old Herculaneum scroll buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is filled with lost words that scholars can now ...

When it comes to building particle accelerators the credo has always been “bigger, badder, better”. While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with its 27 km circumference and €7.5 billion budget ...

Particle detectors play a crucial role in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They allow ...

The world’s most powerful particle accelerator is ready to start delivering proton collisions to experiments at a record-breaking energy level after three years of upgrade and maintenance work. The ...

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 ...

The world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator may be producing the ... neutrons that make up the cores of atoms.

So-called "nuclear accelerators" are used to split the atom for scientific research, but most particle accelerators are built for more practical applications. They are used to manufacture myriad ...
