Medical linear accelerators (linacs) have revolutionised cancer treatment by delivering precise high-energy photon and electron beams, yet the production of secondary neutrons remains a critical ...

You’ve probably seen Lichtenberg figures before, those lightning-like traces left by high-voltage discharge. The safe way to create them is using an electron beam to embed charge inside an ...

With the introduction of the Cornell-Brookhaven ERL Test Accelerator, scientists are following up on the concept of energy-recovering particle accelerators first introduced by physicist Maury Tigner ...

Using a mouse to navigate from a birds-eye view to a close-up, 3-D, edge-on view of the magnets and the beams circulating inside the machine, he explains, "We can use this code to test that the ...

ITHACA, NY--Scientists from Cornell University and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have successfully demonstrated the world's first capture and reuse of ...

From accelerators unexpectedly beneath your feet to a ferret that once cleaned accelerator components, Symmetry shares some lesser-known facts about particle accelerators. Despite their uptick in ...

When physicists petitioned the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) in the early 1980s to build a particle accelerator that would recreate the fiery conditions of the big bang, they picked a name worthy of ...

I’m currently working at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California on my master’s project which focuses on lasers. I’m surrounded by incredibly cool equipment and amazing science. Since, I’m ...

ITHACA, N.Y. - With the introduction of CBETA, the Cornell-Brookhaven ERL Test Accelerator, Cornell University and Brookhaven National Laboratory scientists are following up on the concept of ...
