On Oct. 21, the PIP-II Injector Test Facility at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermilab accelerated proton beam through its new superconducting section for the first time at nearly perfect ...

Muons are getting a move on. In a step toward new types of particle physics experiments, scientists cooled and then accelerated a beam of muons. The subatomic particles, heavy cousins of electrons, ...

Confining a plasma jet can be stress-inducing... especially on the materials especially for shielding materials. Noting the limits inherent in the test methods currently used for these materials, ...

A beam of electrons was first observed to be accelerated with a ‘gradient’ – or energy transfer rate - of 300 MV/m, which is very high for present-day accelerators, in a device rather like a microchip ...
