ARIEL: Switching on the (RF) Power |
12 September 2014 |
With the mass efforts building in the Electron Hall
this year, many components of the e-linac are in position and ready for operation.
Klystron One and Klystron Two, the high-power continuous wave klystrons,
are ready to power the cryomodules of the e-linac. |

Success: ARIEL E-Linac Accelerates First Beam |
28 July 2014 |
In the year since the ARIEL building was
constructed, teams across the lab have intensified efforts towards the commissioning of ARIEL’s e-linac. On
July 18, the e-linac completed the first acceleration of beam through the e-linac
superconducting
injector cryomodule to the 10 MeV beam dump. |

DRAGON Probes Mass Limit in Novae |
10 July 2014 |
Recently, the DRAGON facility ran the highest mass
radiative-capture experiment ever performed with a radioactive beam, and in so
doing, probed the upper mass limit for nucleosynthesis in novae. |

Are Neutrinos Their Own Twin? |
23 June 2014 |
Is it possible that instead of having a distinct antimatter particle, neutrinos could be their own antimatter twin? Determining the nature of neutrinos is a key goal of modern particle physics. EXO-200 has recently announced a result that is helping scientists answer this fundamental question. |

The SUSY Fever |
10 June 2014 |
The
ATLAS Collaboration has released three search analyses
addressing the production of charginos and neutralinos, a strong component in supersymmetry. Supersymmetry is a promising extension of
the Standard Model of elementary particles. |
