Mathot, who initially worked on small linear accelerators for medical applications, realized that this technology could be used for research in cultural heritage, too. "The proton beam technique ...

Technicians speak of an electron "beam," but it is incorrect to think ... Most accelerators in the past have been proton accelerators. Protons, nearly 2,000 times as heavy as electrons are ...

The UK’s first NHS high-energy proton beam therapy centre opened at The Christie Hospital in 2018. The University of Manchester’s research was vital in helping to bring this technology to the UK, ...

If experimental physicists had their way, CERN's accelerator complex would run nonstop, 365 days a year, without a winter break. However, the machines ...

Using dual lasers and an advanced gas injection system, researchers at th Lab Laser Accelerator Center (BELLA) accelerated a ...

But, increasingly, the merits of proton beam therapy have been recognised ... He told me that what I was seeing was much like the particle accelerator at Cern, albeit on a smaller scale - a ...

Nd:YAG crystal is the most commonly used laser-active crystal owing to its excellent thermal and spectroscopic features. Diamonds, on the other hand, are of great potential for single-photon ...
