This year's major accelerator conference covered impressive progress in the field, and featured events celebrating the World Year of Physics. Norbert Holtkamp reports.
A machine has been proposed at Berkeley that would provide radiation at terahertz frequencies, a valuable source for research.
The cryogenic system for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN reached a major milestone on 7 April by achieving operation of the unit at Point 8 at its nominal temperature of 1.8 K.
The ERL2005 Workshop at Jefferson Lab in March - the first of its kind - reviewed an innovative use of electron linacs in light sources and, potentially, particle colliders.
A series of workshops has given scientists the opportunity to discover how the studies currently being carried out at HERA will influence future physics at the LHC.
Experiments at Cornell are breaking records for accelerating gradients and Q values in superconducting radio-frequency cavities, reports Hasan Padamsee.
On 21 March, the UK's science and innovation minister announced the approval and funding of the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment, MICE, at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL).
The vast amounts of accumulated data have helped another important aspect of Belle's physics programme: the discovery of new particle states in the charm sector.
VENUS, the latest superconducting ECR ion source, is blazing the trail for the next generation of heavy-ion accelerators, as Daniela Leitner of LBNL explains.
On 7 March the first of the superconducting dipole magnets for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), under construction at CERN, was lowered into the accelerator tunnel.
