When you think of a particle accelerator, you usually think of some giant cyclotron with heavy-duty equipment in a massive mad-science lab. But scientists now believe they can create particle ...

Physicists often use machine learning to automate the task of tuning particle accelerators in real time to get the best performance. Jan Kaiser at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY ...

Particle accelerators produce and accelerate beams of charged particles, such as electrons, protons and ions, of atomic and sub-atomic size. They are used not only in fundamental research for an ...

On the other hand, the second assembly at the test stand contains ... to support the operations of the world’s largest particle accelerator. Hopefully, all the phases of the HL-LHC upgrade ...

A crucial tool in the arsenal of the experimental particle physicist is the particle accelerator ... based identification techniques. Self-assembly in granular materials is challenging due ...

So-called "nuclear accelerators" are used to split the atom for scientific research, but most particle accelerators are built for more practical applications. They are used to manufacture myriad ...

The world's only particle accelerator used regularly in the analysis of art has gone back into use at the Louvre museum in Paris. The accelerator has been rebuilt to allow it to investigate ...

To counteract such elements, scientists first need to better understand their behaviour. Accelerators help in this effort by using charged particle beams to strike selected materials to either analyse ...
