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 ...

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

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 ...

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

In layman’s terms it was a “cancer zapper”; a linear accelerator with a human as ... to place one of three devices in the path of the electron beam. In electron mode, scanning magnets ...

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 ...

MEASUREMENTS of the variation of neutron cross-section with neutron energy have been made at Harwell using an electron linear accelerator pulsed neutron source, and a time of flight spectrometer ...

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 ...

Meanwhile, high brightness X-ray light sources, such as the Linear Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray free electron laser (FEL) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, allow us to resolve structures ...
