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 ...

Accelerators have been at the heart of the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) since its inception in 1931, and are still a driving force in the Laboratory's ...

One of the things that makes the main particle accelerator at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility unique is that it was the first linear accelerator to ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Object 1978.1073.01.1 is the first ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

This Collection showcases original research on linear accelerator (LINAC) technologies, covering topics from the design and optimisation of LINAC components and beam diagnostics, to emerging ...

It takes years of on-the-job training to learn the ins and outs of particle accelerator operation. Despite the fact that accelerator operators are essential to keeping an accelerator laboratory afloat ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

Crews cooled a tunnel housing a particle accelerator to negative 456 degrees Fahrenheit — a temperature cooler than much of space — on April 15. Part of an upgrade project to Linac Coherent Light ...
