A Primer on Particle Accelerators

Researchers positioned lasers to compress billions of electrons together, creating a beam five times more powerful than before.

This is the first measurement of its kind and will enable researchers to evaluate electron dynamics in a new range of super-small particles,  valued ...

Scientists studying laser-plasma proton acceleration made an unexpected breakthrough, simultaneously resolving multiple long-standing problems although they had only aimed to address one. 

In 1974, the independent discovery of the J/psi particle at SLAC and Brookhaven National Laboratory rocked the physics world, and entire textbooks had to...

Researchers across the lab are developing AI tools to harness data and particle beams in real time and make molecular movies, speeding up the...

The high-energy upgrade will keep the U.S. at the forefront of X-ray science and technology, allowing researchers to advance fields such as sustainability, human...
