Particle accelerators are among the most intricate scientific instruments ever devised. With millions of sensors and thousands of subsystems at risk of failure, these accelerators' human operators ...
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 ...
Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...
An artificial intelligence algorithm monitors individual subsystems (left) and accelerator output (right). When output and subsystem anomalies coincide, the algorithm alerts operators and identifies ...
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 ...
Twenty-five feet below ground, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory scientist Spencer Gessner opens a large metal picnic basket. This is not your typical picnic basket filled with cheese, bread and ...
The newly upgraded particle accelerator at the DoE's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) has produced its first X-rays. The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) upgrade, LCLS-II, can emit up to a ...
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 ...
The detection system along with associated hardware for electronic conditioning and control (core system depicted below). Physicists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and other institutes ...
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 ...
