The same principle applies to the action of electric fields on charged particles. After learning of the possibility and value of applying alternating-gradient focusing to proton linear accelerators, ...

You can learn about the components in even more detail here. Then there’s CERN’s animation, which focuses on their newest linear accelerator: Linac4. It’s scheduled to be connected to the next ...

Extraction of ultra-low emittance bunches is an issue to be addressed for future applications of plasma wakefield accelerators. Here, the authors show that the field structure of the plasma could ...

Actinium-225 holds huge promise as a cancer treatment but barely exists in nature. The Lansing company Niowave has begun producing it with a superconducting linear accelerator.

LCLS-II will produce up to one million X-ray pulses per second and will be 10,000 times brighter than its predecessor.

A new state-of-the-art cancer treatment device that uses precise radiation technology has been installed at Bronson Cancer Center in Battle Creek thanks to the largest gift ever to Bronson Battle ...
