Now the U.S. government has an accelerator that’s hidden ... out of the debris from the LHC's high-energy collisions. Some call it the God particle. An engineer works on one of more than a ...

The Belle II detector, which scientists use to study collisions at the SuperKEKB particle accelerator in Japan, weighs in at 1,400 tons. When completed, each of the largest detectors for the DUNE ...

As particle accelerator technology moves into the high-luminosity era, the need for extreme precision and unprecedented ...

When it comes to building particle accelerators the credo has always ... new particles is given in the center-of-mass frame of the collision, it is much more efficient to collide particles head ...

Black holes are fascinating cosmic entities that have intrigued scientists for decades. They are regions in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape ...

The more energy a particle has, the greater the magnetic field needed to bend its path. Quadrupole magnets act likes lenses to focus a beam, gathering the particles closer together. Collisions at ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can achieve an energy that no other particle accelerators have reached before, but Nature routinely produces higher energies in cosmic-ray collisions. Concerns about ...
