How do particle accelerators really work?
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 ...
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 ...
In 2010, when scientists were preparing to smash the first particles together within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sections of the media fantasized that the EU-wide experiment might create a black ...
Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.
AI is an integral part of many science areas around SLAC, including handling data from the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST)/Rubin Observatory, understanding the behavior of biological materials, ...
The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions with matter.
Trillions of times smaller than a grain of sand and smaller than an atomic proton or neutron, quarks are among the smallest particles in the universe. They are essentially building blocks for ...
