As with every other projectile weapon in the game, particle beam weapons are available in several types, including shotguns, pistols, and rifles. While you can loot generic versions of these from ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

In 2012, particle accelerators hit the headlines when researchers at CERN announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. This breakthrough discovery resulted from decades of research and experimentation ...

The plasma and beams group conducts research at the crossroads of plasma physics, particle beam physics, and laser physics. Our goal is to study particle beam acceleration in strong plasma waves that ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

Critical components of all particle accelerators, beam diagnostics are responsible for quantifying the parameters of particle beams. Beam diagnostics are capable of providing extremely accurate ...

A collaboration of researchers led by Cornell University has been awarded $22.5 million from the National Science Foundation to continue gaining the fundamental understanding needed to transform the ...

U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Andrew Satran The U.S. Department of Defense wants to test a directed energy weapon in space, one that it hopes will someday destroy ballistic missiles moments after ...

Senior Lecturer in Particle Physics Informatics, Brunel University of London The fact that we are here at all is one of the greatest puzzles of physics. We are made from normal particles such as ...
