A particle beam is a stream of charged or neutral particles. In particle accelerators, these particles can move with a velocity close to the speed of light...

A particle-beam weapon uses a high-energy beam of atomic or subatomic particles to damage the target by disrupting its atomic and/or molecular structure...

A charged particle beam is a spatially localized group of electrically charged particles that have approximately the same position, kinetic energy (resulting...

energies to contain them in well-defined beams. Small accelerators are used for fundamental research in particle physics. Accelerators are also used as...

detected. The term collimated may also be applied to particle beams – a collimated particle beam – where typically shielding blocks of high density materials...

A linear particle accelerator (often shortened to linac) is a type of particle accelerator that accelerates charged subatomic particles or ions to a high...

of a charged particle beam. It refers to the area occupied by the beam in a position-and-momentum phase space. Each particle in a beam can be described...

nuclear medicine. In addition, cyclotrons can be used for particle therapy, where particle beams are directly applied to patients. In 1927, while a student...

Particle radiation is the radiation of energy by means of fast-moving subatomic particles. Particle radiation is referred to as a particle beam if the...

Particle beam cooling is the process of improving the quality of particle beams produced by particle accelerators, by reducing the emittance. Techniques...
