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 ...

Particle accelerators smash tiny particles together to reveal the universe's building blocks. These machines have grown dramatically in size and power over time, leading to major discoveries. The ...

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 ...

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia can start building a new superconducting radio-frequency linear accelerator that will help scientists in their quest to better understand our universe.

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

Since the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory powered up its "linac" half a century ago, the 2-mile-long particle accelerator has driven a large number of successful research ...

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 ...

Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of ...

Missing March Madness? Let Fermilab fill a small part of the void created in these times of social distancing and sheltering-in-place. Participate in our sendup of the NCAA tournament: March Magnets.
