Cornwall's main hospital will get two next-generation radiotherapy machines within 12 months, after being awarded £2.6 ...

At the beginning of an experiment, a beam of electrons may have a rest energy of 1/2 million electron volts; it is directed through a linear "pre-accelerator" (or "injector") where the energy is ...

Reader [Xellers] sent in his newest instructable: DIY Electron Accelerator: A Cathode Ray Tube in a Wine Bottle. While not exactly what you might think of a cathode ray tube, the basics are in place.

Scientists from Germany's DESY have come up with a two-stage correction approach to speed up electrons just like they do with giant particle colliders ...

Femtosecond-long, petawatt-peak power beam could be used to probe previously inaccessible phenomena in materials science, ...

Laser-plasma accelerators can accelerate particles over distances that are up to 1,000 times shorter than those required by ...

DESY scientists have taken a major step in refining laser plasma acceleration, a technology that could revolutionize particle ...

A schematic of the 99Mo/99mTc production system based on an electron linear accelerator and activated carbon-based 99mTc generator. News organizations may use or redistribute this image ...

Electron beams are also used for sterilizing medical products and foods, and to disinfect sewage water. They are used widely in the automotive and aerospace industries, for machine construction, and ...

However, on the path to real-world applications, some properties of the plasma-driven electron beam as delivered by current prototype accelerators still need to be refined. DESY's LUX experiment ...
