Radio frequency (RF) systems form the cornerstone of modern particle accelerators, providing the electromagnetic fields necessary to accelerate charged particles to high energies. These systems ...

NEWPORT NEWS, VA - A pocket-size gizmo that puts the “pop” in microwave popcorn could soon fuel particle accelerators of the future. The small but mighty device is a magnetron – a mashup of the words ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

Linear accelerators (linacs) are pivotal instruments that utilise high-power radio frequency (RF) fields to accelerate charged particles for applications ranging from fundamental physics research to ...

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (CAS-IMP) have introduced an innovative ML model for classifying faults occurring in SRF cavities during accelerator operation. Deployed at the CAFE2 ...

Plasma wakefield accelerators can provide energy gain of up to two orders of magnitude greater than conventional RF accelerators, making them a promising new technology for creating compact particle ...

Booster shot: a section of an accelerator-on-a-chip. The grey structures focus infrared laser light (shown in yellow and purple) on electrons flowing through the centre channel. The structure is about ...

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 ...

Researchers at DESY’s LUX facility have demonstrated the first active energy compression of a laser–plasma electron beam, reducing its energy spread and jitter to below one-thousandth. This ...

A high-voltage transmission electron microscope (HVTEM) small enough to fit inside a university lab has been built for the first time by researchers in Japan. The team, led by Takumi Sannomiya at ...
