April 14, 1932 was a day that transformed subatomic physics forever as a lithium atom was split using a proton beam.

DESY scientists have taken a major step in refining laser plasma acceleration, a technology that could revolutionize particle ...

R esearchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have created a high-energy, ultrashort, ultrahigh current petawatt ...

Scientists from Germany's DESY have come up with a two-stage correction approach to speed up electrons just like they do with ...

Physics are sketching the designs of a particle accelerator that would be radically smaller and cheaper than existing ...

Laser plasma acceleration is a potentially disruptive technology: It could be used to build far more compact accelerators and ...

It accelerates protons and ions to a speed never achieved before by humans, allowing them to probe new energy realms in ...

Femtosecond-long, petawatt-peak power beam could be used to probe previously inaccessible phenomena in materials science, ...

Scientists carefully positioned lasers to compress billions of electrons together, creating a beam five times more powerful ...

However, on the path to real-world applications, some properties of the plasma-driven electron beam ... particle injection has required relatively large and energy-intensive conventional accelerators.

Finally, there are other proposals, such as building a linear accelerator around 50 kilometers long instead of a new ring. The FCC as an electron-positron collider could be ready by the early 2040s.

At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, finding evidence for supersymmetry became the next great expectation after its ATLAS and CMS ...
