Then matter became much more abundant than antimatter, allowing for the formation of atoms, stars, planets and humans. The particle accelerators at Fermilab can send out both neutrinos and antineutrinos, their antimatter counterpart, so if a difference is found in how neutrinos and antineutrinos ...
While the Cockroft-Walton Generator used huge electrical currents to accelerate particles at a speed that could stimulate a nuclear reaction, in everyday use, this is done on a much smaller scale. In a TV, for example, these machines convert alternating current (AC) power at a lower charge,...

Superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities are essential to the function of advancedparticle accelerators. They are a key part of the systems that power the electromagnetic fields that accelerate subatomicparticles. The efficiency of these cavities is influenced by the cleanliness, shape, and smoothnes...
Particle accelerators are powerful devices that use electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles like electrons or protons at speeds close to the speed of light, then smash them head-on. What happens in a blink of an eye during these high-speed col

But safety reviewers concluded that particle accelerators create so much heat that they would melt potential strangelets. The likelihood of creating strange matter in a particle accelerator would be as low as making "an ice cube in a furnace," the reviewers concluded [source: Ellis]. Physicists ...
It's theoretically possible toextend the periodic table even furtheras chemists synthesize increasingly heavier elements, so the periodic table may never be complete. These manmade elements are created using particle accelerators thatsmash atoms and subatomic particles together, generating nuclei with extra...
Neutron radiation is also made from nuclear reactors in power plants and nuclear-powered ships and in particle accelerators, devices used to study subatomic physics. In many cases, a nucleus that has undergone alpha decay, beta decay or spontaneous fission will be highly energetic and therefore ...
This area is developing rapidly, and it would be very interesting for us to deploy this on a number of accelerators. On the detector and sensor side, we would like to make STELLA easily upgradeable, and some of these upgrades could be very much linked to what we want to do for our ...
