MEDICIS. Produces isotopes for medical purposes. The Large Hadron Collider ( LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider. [1] [2] It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) between 1998 and 2008 in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and hundreds of universities and laboratories across more ...
The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN ( / sɜːrn /; French pronunciation: [sɛʁn]; Conseil européen pour la Recherche nucléaire ), is an intergovernmental organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. Established in 1954, it is based in Meyrin, western suburb of Geneva, on the ...
On December 6, 2017, the journal Nature unveils the discovery at the European synchrotron of a new species of dinosaur with surprising characteristics and living about 72 million years ago. It is a biped, mix between a velociraptor , an ostrich and a swan with a crocodile muzzle and penguin wings.
Used to separate Uranium 235 isotope for the Manhattan project, after the end of World War II used for separation of medical and other isotopes. 95-inch cyclotron. Harvard Cyclotron Laboratory. 1949–2002. Circular. Proton. 160 MeV. Used for nuclear physics 1949 – ~ 1961, development of clinical proton therapy until 2002.
DESY's function is to conduct fundamental research for solely civil and peaceful purposes. It specialises in particle accelerator development, construction and operation, particle physics, astroparticle physics and photon science research to explore the fundamental relationships between the structure, dynamics and function of matter.
The Positron–Electron Tandem Ring Accelerator ( PETRA) is one of the particle accelerators at the German national laboratory DESY in Hamburg, Germany. At the time of its construction, it was the biggest storage ring of its kind and still is DESY's second largest synchrotron after HERA. PETRA's original purpose was research in elementary ...
The Large Electron–Positron Collider ( LEP) was one of the largest particle accelerators ever constructed. It was built at CERN, a multi-national centre for research in nuclear and particle physics near Geneva, Switzerland. LEP collided electrons with positrons at energies that reached 209 GeV. It was a circular collider with a circumference ...
The Proton Synchrotron, built at CERN (1959–), was the first major European particle accelerator and generally similar to the AGS. The Stanford Linear Accelerator, SLAC, became operational in 1966, accelerating electrons to 30 GeV in a 3 km long waveguide, buried in a tunnel and powered by hundreds of large klystrons. It is still the largest ...
