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 ...

Scientists have developed a new machine-learning platform that makes the algorithms that control particle beams and lasers smarter than ever before. Their work could help lead to the development of ...

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (CAS-IMP) have introduced an innovative ML model for classifying faults occurring in SRF cavities during accelerator operation. Deployed at the CAFE2 ...

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 ...

It takes years of on-the-job training to learn the ins and outs of particle accelerator operation. Despite the fact that accelerator operators are essential to keeping an accelerator laboratory afloat ...

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland is the most massive, most ambitious experiment ever undertaken by humanity. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator that uses a ...

A powerful X-Ray machine at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in Menlo Park is giving a special look into some historic documents. With a combination of history, science, technology and liberal arts, ...

Deep beneath the Swiss countryside, inside a ring of machinery nearly four miles across that has been running since the 1970s, physicists have been chasing something they could not see, could not ...

Machine learning is becoming an essential part of a physicist’s toolkit. How should new students learn to use it? When Radha Mastandrea started her undergraduate physics program at MIT in 2015, she ...
