Physicists at multiple institutions are compressing particle accelerators from facility-scale machines stretching hundreds of ...

A string of recent experiments has moved desktop-scale particle accelerators from theoretical curiosity to working prototypes ...

The SMSPDs can precisely detect single particles at a time. The detectors were designed and fabricated at JPL and commissioned at the INQNET-Caltech labs. Credit: Cristián Peña, Fermilab To learn more ...

Gaseous detectors have long been an integral component of particle physics, providing essential data for tracking charged particles and elucidating complex event topologies in high-energy experiments.

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial. About a billion pairs of particles collide every ...

This article explores the intriguing realm of particle physics with Vitrek’s comprehensive document on scattering experiments. Learn how incident particles strike targets, resulting in scattered ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...

A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance. In late May, I had a chance to visit CERN, near Geneva, and visit with Jakub Mościcki, head of CERN’s ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...
