This year, the wheels were set back in motion on 19 February, when the first particle beam of 2025 circulated in Linac4. The ...

For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

Scientists have created an ultrashort electron beam with five times more peak current than any other similar beam on Earth.

Particle accelerators are the backbone of ... One challenge is quickly tuning the electron beam that generates the X-rays for the unique requirements of each experiment. Experienced operators ...

For one, it’s extremely short-lived. W bosons are made by smashing beams of particles together at nearly the speed of light inside powerful particle colliders like the Tevatron at Fermilab. But the W ...

The particle, a type of neutrino ... Blazars are types of quasars that stand out because the beams of high-energy particles and light they blast out are pointed directly at Earth.
