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.

Current particle accelerators are divided into two primary types: circular accelerators and linear accelerators, sometimes called linacs. The "pipes" through which particles accelerate are vacuums ...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (KRQE) – Los Alamos National Laboratory is celebrating 50 years of its globally sought-after linear particle accelerator. Scientists use the accelerator to study the ...

The linear resonance accelerator, developed by E.O. Lawrence and colleagues during the 1930’s, was one of the earliest designs for attaining high particle energy without the requirement of ...

The ongoing attempt to fully understand our universe - how it started, what it's made of, why it sticks together - is getting a new tool: a powerful linear particle accelerator at Fermi National ...

The electrons first traveled two miles through the linear accelerator at SLAC, gaining 42 billion electron volts (or GeV) of energy.

Such colliders would focus their particle beams to just a few nanometres across, requiring even better alignment than accelerators in use today. The current work is published in Physical Review ...

The new facility will allow for experiments to be conducted over a wider energy range and produce data at a much faster rate than the original 2009 particle accelerator.

The achievement demonstrates a technology that may drive the future of accelerator design. To reach the high energies required to answer the new set of mysteries confronting particle physics-such ...
