SLAC invention could make particle accelerators 10 times smaller

Green Car Congress

The key idea behind the technology, described in a recent article in Applied Physics Letters , is to use terahertz radiation to boost particle energies. One major challenge to building these tiny cavity structures is to machine them very precisely. Inset: Scanning electron microscope image of a section of the cavity, which is 3.5

But Trieste proved “too large and cumbersome for routine operations throughout the oceans,” according to a 2014 Eos article. Vine and his research team, the WHOI Deep Submergence Group, in collaboration with the research office, requested bids to build a smaller and more maneuverable submersible. It was recovered a year later.
