Keeping high-power particle accelerators at peak performance requires advanced and precise control systems. For example, the primary research machine at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas ...

The largest particle collider in the US, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), has ...

The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...

Something odd is happening deep inside the data streams from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A set of “forbidden” patterns in how unstable particles decay, combined with rare Higgs events and a ...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

Before the RHIC shut down, it was the only operational particle collider in the U.S. and one of two heavy-ion colliders in the world, the other being the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a novel artificial ...

Picture a particle physicist. What do they look like as they do their research? There's a certain popular image of what a scientist looks like while they make their discoveries, according to Dr.

Some of the most fundamental questions about our universe are also the most difficult to answer. Questions like what gives matter its mass, what is the invisible 96 percent of the universe made of, ...

"When my student showed me the data I thought she must be wrong," Boston College professor and lead researcher Kenneth Burch told Live Science. "It's not every day you find a new particle sitting on ...

US physicists have shed light on a long-standing mystery after they captured rare experimental ...

This article addresses a common misunderstanding among some users regarding non-volumetric particle counters. Some users believe that dividing particle counts by the counting efficiency (CE) at the ...
