As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future ...

If you could peer into a particle physicist’s daydream, you might spy a vision of a giant lunar particle accelerator. Now, researchers have calculated what such an enormous, hypothetical machine could ...

Scientists at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider, have just observed an astoundingly rare phenomenon at the subatomic level that could lead to a new understanding of the standard model of ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research – you probably know it by its acronym CERN – came into existence on September ...

The key test passed by sPHENIX to prove it is ready to measure the properties of quark-gluon plasma is called a "standard candle" in particle physics. This isn't to be confused with Type 1a supernovas ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

Machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, vastly speeds up computational tasks and enables new technology in areas as broad as speech and image recognition, self-driving cars, stock market ...

The oldest particle accelerator at CERN, home to the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, is celebrating its 60th birthday. It’s still running. The Proton Synchrotron (PS) accelerated its first ...

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 ...

"Summer School on Particle Accelerators (1984 and 1985). U.S. Particle Accelerator School. The US Particle Accelerator School is dedicated to the future of accelerator-based science and technology.

When we talk about particle accelerators, the idea of enormous machines with the size of a warehouse and located inside underground tunnels often comes into mind. However, scientists at Stanford and ...
