Scientists have created an ultrashort electron beam with five times more peak current than any other similar beam on Earth.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) represents a pinnacle of high-energy physics research, where colliding proton beams at unprecedented energies have propelled exploration into the subatomic realm.

The experiment paves the way to potentially making an entirely new one: element 120, also known as the "island of stability." Reading time 2 minutes A team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley ...

Laser physicists have built a novel hybrid plasma accelerator. Particle accelerators have become an indispensable tool for studies of the structure of matter at sub-atomic scales, and have important ...

Claudio Emma and Brendan O’Shea examine experimental apparatus at FACET-II in 2022. Scientists have created an ultrashort electron beam with five times more peak current than any other similar beam on ...

Cracking a 15 year physics mystery, researchers measured the precise size of a proton. In A Nutshell A team in Germany used an unprecedentedly precise laser measurement of hydrogen to pin down the ...

A new experiment using rare-isotope beams has provided new insight into the origin of proton-rich isotopes known as p-nuclei.

The beam is off, but high energy physics research is very much on at one of the world’s premier particle physics labs. The requirements of social distancing have prompted scientists at the U.S.
