A community portal about Particle accelerators with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: A particle accelerator is a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically charged particles to high speeds and magnetic fields to contain them. An ordinary CRT televison set is a simple form of accelerator. There are two basic types: linear accelerators and circular accelerators.
A research project exploring the potential for making medical isotopes with X-rays from a particle accelerator instead of a nuclear reactor is about to move to the large scale. The Canadian Isotope Project, led by the Canadian Light Source (CLS ...
and the narrowing search for the "God Particle," the Higgs boson, crucial for confirming the Standard Model because it is responsible for giving everything mass. Dozens of UW-Madison scientists are now working at the LHC — the world's largest particle accelerator.
"It's a tale as old as time: Boy meets particle accelerator. Boy gets particle accelerator. Particle accelerator trash talks boy when boy's favorite football team wins last year's Super Bowl." Alverno Presents is offering up "Sexy Results, "a rather unusual Cedar Block event at Turner Hall Ballroom on Saturday, Feb. 18. It's a sweet story of science and art.
By David Ponce Todd Johnson has been making ShockFossils for a while now but we just came across his work and are impressed beyond words. They are acrylic pieces with fractal designs that were created using a particle accelerator. Todd takes blocks of acrylic and brings them to an industrial accelerator facility where he rents [...]
In this month's Physics World, reviews and careers editor, Margaret Harris, visits the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) to explore what future projects are in the pipeline now that the Tevatron particle accelerator has closed for good.
