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.

A study led by researchers from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los Angeles, has demonstrated a new, efficient way to accelerate positrons, the antimatter ...

Originally, particle accelerators were used to investigate the structure of the atomic core, but today’s applications are far-reaching, including cleaning flue gases from power plants.

Such colliders would focus their particle beams to just a few nanometres across, requiring even better alignment than accelerators in use today. The current work is published in Physical Review ...
