The key test passed by sPHENIX to prove it is ready to measure the properties of quark-gluon plasma is called a "standard ...

This is where particle accelerators come in. One of the first experiments performed in particle physics with accelerators helped us uncover the fundamental construction of atoms, including the ...

Beam me up! The Large Hadron Collider, the biggest particle accelerator on the planet, restarted on April 22 after the longest shutdown in its 14-year history.

Consisting of four main experiments, the circular particle accelerator is built to push the frontiers of particle physics.

Circular particle accelerators bend the paths of speeding electrons, causing the electrons to emit light. This light is a powerful research tool with many applications.

Experiments at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the U.S. have taken us a step forward in developing a technology that could significantly reduce the size of particle accelerators and ...

The power that off-the-shelf welding lasers offer demonstrates multi-kW capabilities but much work is needed to pack the power into ultrashort pulses needed for laser plasma accelerators.

There are several designs for future particle accelerators, each with its strengths and challenges. In a series of Comments, we explore the technologies for circular, linear and plasma wakefield ...

A huge new particle accelerator called the Future Circular Collider would dwarf the Large Hadron Collider — and could help probe the mysteries of physics.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, already has the largest, most powerful particle accelerator in the world, called the Large Hadron Collider, but today it published a report ...

To understand how the laws of physics work at energies higher than that of the LHC, scientists will need bigger accelerators (SN: 1/22/19).

The Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator may have found its first new physics beyond the standard model in results from the LHCb experiment that show matter and antimatter decay differently.
