Just a few hundred feet from where we are sitting is a large metal chamber devoid of air and draped with the wires needed to control the instruments inside. A beam of particles passes through the ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

Medical linear accelerators (linacs) have revolutionised cancer treatment by delivering precise high-energy photon and electron beams, yet the production of secondary neutrons remains a critical ...
