    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerator-driven_sub...

    Accelerator-driven subcritical reactor. An accelerator-driven subcritical reactor (ADSR) is a nuclear reactor design formed by coupling a substantially subcritical nuclear reactor core with a high-energy proton or electron accelerator. It could use thorium as a fuel, which is more abundant than uranium. [1]

    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.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Superconducting Super Collider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_Super_Collider

    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 ...

  8. Linear particle accelerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_particle_accelerator

    In 1924, Gustav Ising published the first description of a linear particle accelerator using a series of accelerating gaps. Particles would proceed down a series of tubes. At a regular frequency, an accelerating voltage would be applied across each gap. As the particles gained speed while the frequency remained constant, the gaps would be ...
