Critical components of all particle accelerators, beam diagnostics are responsible for quantifying the parameters of particle beams. Beam diagnostics are capable of providing extremely accurate ...

I was the chairman of the committee that recommended to the DOE that the Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) approach to dealing with the long-lived component of spent nuclear fuel be terminated. It was, ...

The world's cutting-edge particle accelerators are pushing the extremes in high-brightness beams and ultrashort pulses to explore matter in new ways. To optimize their performance -- and to prepare ...

The first full characterization measurement of an accelerator beam in six dimensions will advance the understanding and performance of current and planned accelerators around the world. The first full ...

Inside a perfectly tuned particle accelerator ring, a proton beam will lap the circle smoothly, like a racecar cruising confidently down the track's center lane. But the dynamics of a particle beam ...

Laser-based accelerator technology has been given a boost thanks to researchers based in Korea, Japan and the USA. Their latest research could lead the way towards compact accelerators that can ...

Physicists are learning to carve laser beams into intricate shapes that can grab hold of electrons and push them with a ...

As physicists design new "tabletop" accelerators that power particles with plasma, they also need to reinvent the tools they use to view the beam. Seeking less costly, more efficient means of particle ...

A new kind of plasma accelerator has cleared a hurdle that has dogged the field for decades, lifting electron energy and beam ...

The accelerator complex delivered its last beams of 2025 on 8 December before beginning the year-end technical stop (YETS). During a technical stop ...
