[Editor's note : we are often so involved in our own designs and deadlines we don't have time to appreciate the efforts of others, where designs and designers push the limits of speed, performance, ...

Profiling extreme beams: Scientists devise new diagnostic for particle accelerators Research team aims to measure micron-sized beams at Berkeley Lab's BELLA Center Date: May 10, 2018 Source: DOE ...

A proton beam of kinetic energy 150 MeV was tuned to allow single-particle events and directed against the hodoscope for testing. The latest FAMU hodoscope (Hodo-4), that is, the position-sensitive ...

It's also important to note that the beam from a particle accelerator is very narrow (the more focused the beam is, the higher the chance of collisions with protons in the other beam).

Introduction Carbon ion beams in Particle Therapy (PT) are used to achieve a high dose conformation to the target volume in combination with a high Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) (1).

Hadrontherapy has gained increasing interest for cancer treatment especially within the last decade. System commissioning and quality assurance procedures impose to monitor the particle beam using 2D ...

Now, however, Matthew Zepf, Gianluca Sarri and colleagues at Queen’s University of Belfast have teamed up with physicists at the University of Michigan, the Max Planck Institute for Particle Physics ...

The weapon, a so-called neutral particle beam, would be boosted into space and tested from orbit in 2023. Neutral particle beams don’t get as much attention as lasers but are attractive in their ...
