When I arrived at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in the prairie suburbs west of Chicago to begin my ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...

The LHC facility at CERN is famous for the discovery of the Higgs boson, dubbed the ‘God particle’.

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. New experimental results show particles called ...

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 ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

An international collaboration has developed a new diagnostic technique for measuring ultra-short particle beams at STFC's Central Laser Facility. This collaboration is led by the University of ...

This sample of niobium has been treated in a process that is typical for preparing particle accelerator components. Tests have revealed how adding oxygen to such components makes them more efficient.
