Serge Mathot, in charge of the construction of the 'mini-RFQ', pictured with the first of the four modules that will make up the miniature accelerator Maximilien Brice/CERN Cern is developing a "mini ...
A new design is looking to scale down particle accelerators in a major way. Using laser light and an 'accelerator on a chip' design, the search for parallel universes and the 'God particle' could soon ...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle accelerator located beneath the Franco-Swiss border, celebrates ...
CERN is gradually upgrading its hardware to get more data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), its 27-km (17-mile) circular accelerator that smashes protons together at almost the speed of light to ...
Scientists at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron) have moved closer toward developing compact, powerful particle accelerators. They have successfully used their new laser system, KALDERA, to ...
Scientists have successfully developed a pocket-sized particle accelerator capable of projecting ultra-short electron beams with laser light at more than 99.99% of the speed of light. To achieve this ...
An international collaboration has developed a new diagnostic technique for measuring ultra-short particle beams at STFC's Central Laser Facility. This collaboration is led by the University of ...
