EMMA (Electron Model of Many Applications) is the first non- scaling, fixed-field, alternating-gradient (NS-FFAG) particle accelerator prototype of a new generation of nuclear energy solutions that ...

At Daresbury Laboratory in England, a team of scientists recently completed the first successful runs on a new prototype that may change the way accelerators speed up particles. Its novel design, ...

Smaller, potentially cheaper sources of high-intensity protons could become reality thanks to a novel type of fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerator designed by a physicist in the UK.

A wee particle accelerator in the English countryside could be a harbinger of a safer, cleaner future of energy. Nuclear energy has wrought havoc in Japan and controversy throughout Europe and the U.S ...

Stephen Brooks uses his own custom software tool to fire electron beams into a virtual model of proposed accelerator designs for eRHIC. The goal: Keep the cost down and be sure the beams will ...

The University of Manchester is leading an £8.3 million drive to develop a new type of particle accelerator, which could lead to more effective cancer treatment, greener electricity and less nuclear ...

The University of Manchester is leading an £8.3m drive to develop a new type of particle accelerator, which could lead to more effective cancer treatment, greener electricity and less nuclear waste.

Smaller, potentially cheaper sources of high-intensity protons could become reality thanks to a novel type of fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerator designed by a physicist in the UK.

It incorporates an innovative "non-scaling, fixed field, alternating gradient" (FFAG) accelerator design originally developed by Brookhaven physicist Dejan Trbojevic, who supervises Brooks. The ...
