Linear accelerators have become an indispensable component in the advancement of particle therapy, offering precise control over the delivery of ionising radiation for cancer treatment. The field ...
Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...
The U.S. Department of Energy is betting $40 million that particle accelerators can crack one of nuclear power’s oldest problems: what to do with spent fuel that stays dangerously radioactive for ...
Impact of the First Wave of COVID-19 Pandemic on Radiotherapy Practice at Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai: A Longitudinal Cohort Study Recently, a semimobile RO system has been developed by building an o ...
It takes years of on-the-job training to learn the ins and outs of particle accelerator operation. Despite the fact that accelerator operators are essential to keeping an accelerator laboratory afloat ...
An artificial intelligence algorithm monitors individual subsystems (left) and accelerator output (right). When output and subsystem anomalies coincide, the algorithm alerts operators and identifies ...
There is technology being perfected to make particle accelerators 100-1000 times lower cost. This would enable production of nuclear material for space propulsion that could reach up to 0.5% of light ...
