Clouds of electrons triggered by synchrotron radiation or by seed electrons created by ionization of residual gas are likely to set performance limits on high-intensity particle storage rings like the...
Some 50 people attended the NEEDS workshop in Karlsruhe in April to discuss how accelerator experiments can help in understanding cosmic-ray data. The meeting brought together experimentalists and the...
Accelerating cavities for the proposed TESLA superconducting electron-positron collider routinely achieve the 25 MV/m accelerating gradient that is required to achieve a collision energy of 500 GeV in...
A group of scientists at the Argonne National Laboratory in the US is pursuing the novel technique of electron beam-driven wakefield acceleration. This uses the strong electromagnetic fields that foll...
Control systems engineering in particle physics laboratories has many applications, as the ICALEPCS 2001 conference showed. Axel Daneels and Rusty Humphrey report.
Although the application of accelerators to science grew in the early 20th century, Maury Tigner says that further technical advances depend on greater intellectual input.
The Spanish government gave the green light in March to a project to build a synchrotron light source near Barcelona.
Founded in the 1980s as the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF), the US national laboratory on Chesapeake Bay adopted the name of Thomas Jefferson in 1996. America's third president ...
A 14 month programme to dismantle CERN's Large Electron-Positron collider (LEP) reached its conclusion in February, when the last LEP half-dipole was removed from the collider tunnel.
