How do particle accelerators really work?
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 ...
In 2016, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) approved the high-luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) upgrade project. LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle ...
Alex Bogacz, a senior scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility since 1997, has spent his career in accelerator physics solving problems. From ...
