    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accelerators_in...

    Fermitron was an accelerator sketched by Enrico Fermi on a notepad in the 1940s proposing an accelerator in stable orbit around the Earth. The undulator radiation collider is a design for an accelerator with a center-of-mass energy around the GUT scale. It would be light-weeks across and require the construction of a Dyson swarm around the Sun.

    Here the plasma accelerator science provides the breakthrough to generate, sustain, and exploit the highest fields ever produced by science in the laboratory. Wake created by an electron beam in a plasma. The acceleration gradient produced by a plasma wake is in the order of the wave breaking field, which is.

  5. Accelerator physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerator_physics

    Accelerator physics. Accelerator physics is a branch of applied physics, concerned with designing, building and operating particle accelerators. As such, it can be described as the study of motion, manipulation and observation of relativistic charged particle beams and their interaction with accelerator structures by electromagnetic fields . It ...

    8–52. MedlinePlus. 001918. [ edit on Wikidata] Radiation therapy or radiotherapy ( RT, RTx, or XRT) is a treatment using ionizing radiation, generally provided as part of cancer therapy to either kill or control the growth of malignant cells. It is normally delivered by a linear particle accelerator.

    Location in Illinois. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory ( Fermilab ), located in Batavia, Illinois, near Chicago, is a United States Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics. Fermilab's Main Injector, two miles (3.3 km) in circumference, is the laboratory's most powerful particle accelerator. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_pack

    The proton pack is a fictional energy-based capture device, used for controlling and lassoing ghosts in the Ghostbusters universe. [1] First depicted in the film Ghostbusters, it has a hand-held wand ("Neutrona Wand" or particle thrower) connected to a backpack-sized nuclear accelerator. It controls a stream of highly focused and radially ...

    The Superconducting Super Collider ( SSC) (also nicknamed the "Desertron" [2]) was a particle accelerator complex under construction in the vicinity of Waxahachie, Texas, United States. Its planned ring circumference was 87.1 kilometers (54.1 mi) with an energy of 20 TeV per proton and was designed to be the world's largest and most energetic ...
