Particle accelerator

What’s the difference between a synchrotron and a cyclotron, anyway?

Using a $6 billion particle accelerator straddling the Swiss-French border, CERN physicists will attempt Tuesday to collide protons at an energy level unmatched at any other physics lab.

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

19 December 2000: DELPHI detector dismantling starts as LEP makes way for its successor, the LHC. This image shows DELPHI, one of the LEP detectors, being dismantled. With the end-caps removed, the inner parts of the DELPHI detector can be seen, including millions of wires needed to control the systems on the detector as readout data from the various components. DELPHI, which ran from 1989 to 2000 on the LEP accelerator, was primarily concerned with particle identification.

The news doesn't go long without some kind of superconductor announcement these days. Unfortunately, these come in several categories: materials that require warmer temperatures than previous material...

A new breed of collider, called plasma wakefield accelerators, can study fundamental physics in new ways by doing something the Large Hadron Collider cannot do: colliding electrons

In two decades, Geneva may be encircled by the biggest scientific instrument ever built, as plans advance at CERN for an enormous particle accelerator that would help physicists delve further into the workings of the universe.
