A smart beam correction trick just made plasma accelerators far more precise—paving the way for compact, high-performance particle tech. Credit: SciTechDaily.com DESY scientists have taken a major ...

An international team of researchers is pushing forward with plans for a radically smaller, cheaper particle accelerator by using a powerful technique that’s been decades in the making ...

At nearly 56.5 miles across, the FCC would be more than three times the LHC’s size while including eight surface laboratory sites overseeing four ongoing experiments. The tunnel itself would be about ...

Physicists are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing facilities. The technique behind these designs, known as wakefield ...

Abstract: Particle accelerators are composed of various components, and their properties are finely tuned to optimize certain particle beam qualities as they accelerate. In particular, particle ...

The project is well on track. The FCC is intended to eclipse the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the current particle accelerator in Geneva. In the feasibility study, a 90.7 kilometre long ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider could eventually be succeeded by an even more ginormous physics experiment, which passed a technical review this week. The even larger project is the Future Circular ...

Abstract: Particle accelerators at CERN and worldwide use fast pulsed magnet systems (kickers) for beam injection, extraction, and disposal. These systems operate at high voltages (up to 80 kV) and ...
