Traditional particle accelerators, including radiofrequency linear accelerators and synchrotrons, have pushed physics forward for decades. They are also expensive, physically large, and limited in how ...

If the United States wants to remain a world leader in high-energy physics research, it must help build a massive linear particle accelerator, a blue-ribbon panel of physicists said Monday. The ...

Plasma-wakefield-based acceleration technology has enabled the generation of very bright particle bunches of ultrashort duration, micrometer size and low emittance. However, it is still extremely ...

Particle accelerators are instrumental in facilitating scientific and technological progress, from fundamental physics research and the study of proteins to cancer therapy and numerous other domains.

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 ...

There is technology being perfected to make particle accelerators 100-1000 times lower cost. This would enable production of nuclear material for space propulsion that could reach up to 0.5% of light ...
