Have you ever noticed athletes accelerating during the 100 meter run? The more they accelerate, the more they lean forward. Why? Let's do a simple analysis. Suppose the runner can be modeled as a ...

While most of us have never had the opportunity to go into space, we all have the chance to dream about it and wonder what it would be like. Across a wide variety of science fiction shows, you can ...

In a fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerator, eliminating pulsed magnet operation permits rapid acceleration to synchrotron energies, but with a much higher beam-pulse repetition rate.

Acceleration and control of high-quality electron beams using electromagnetic waves ranging from radio-frequency to optical lasers has been a major goal in the development of modern science and ...
