While radiation treatments designed to kill cancer cells have come a long way, scientists and doctors are always exploring ...

Traditionally, electron accelerators boost their projectiles by shooting them through metallic cavities, typically made from copper, that contain twitching electromagnetic fields.

A team of scientists across several U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories has unraveled how light and a ...

First, they send the uneven electron bunches from the LUX (Laser and X-ray free electron laser) accelerator through a special arrangement of four magnets called a chicane.

The new machine, known as a nanophotonic electron accelerator (NEA), consists of a small microchip that houses an even smaller vacuum tube made up of thousands of individual "pillars." ...

Conventional electron accelerators use radio waves which are directed into so-called resonator cavities. The radio waves transfer energy to the electrons as they fly past, increasing their velocity.

Nov. 27, 2023 — Researchers have demonstrated a compact particle accelerator less than 20 meters long that produces an electron beam with an energy of 10 billion electron volts (10 GeV). There ...

This milestone, published in Nature, marks the first successful demonstration of a nanophotonic electron accelerator—a concept first proposed in 2015. "For the first time, ...

Fermilab researchers are building a prototype electron beam accelerator that integrates four emerging accelerator technologies into a single, efficient accelerator system. Industrial partners ...

The first patient has been dosed in a Clarity Pharmaceuticals’ clinical trial using NorthStar’s electron accelerator-produced copper-67 (Cu-67).
