Shaping up: A new machine learning algorithm helps physicists reconstruct the shapes of particle accelerator beams from tiny amounts of training data. (Courtesy: Greg Steward/SLAC National Accelerator ...
I don't know about you, but ever since I started covering the Large Hadron Collider and other large-scale particle accelerators for ExtremeTech, I've always morbidly wondered: What would happen if a ...
Particle accelerators are machines that, put simply, accelerate basic particles like electrons and protons to extremely high levels of energy. The beams of charged particles created by these machines ...
