Cockcroft Institute researchers are part of a major collaborative project to develop more powerful proton imaging technology that could provide more accurate cancer treatments. Cockcroft Institute researchers from Lancaster University…
The Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA) started officially on 1 February 2016. OMA is an international collaboration of 31 institutions which during the four year project duration will…
Radiotherapy, most commonly with x-rays, is a widely used and effective form of cancer treatment. Using protons instead of x-rays allows better localisation of the radiation dose to the tumour…
A recent experimental result published in Nature by the ALPHA collaboration, improves upon the direct measurement of antihydrogen charge neutrality. This is a precision test conducted in pursuit of answers…
The second Annual Meeting of the Future Circular Collider study will take place from 11 to 15 April 2016 in Rome. The meeting brings together the world’s leading scientists and…
Laser self-mixing is a technique usually used for the measurement of low velocities and vibrations. In a paper that has just been published in the journal Nuclear Instruments and Methods…
Particle accelerators find many applications in fundamental research, as well as in health, energy and security applications. They range from relatively compact, sometimes even table top devices to km-size particle…
Based on the work developed within QUASAR group at the Cockcroft Institute a new ltd company D-Beam has been established to commercialise some of the results. D-Beam ltd provides optical…
High energy particle beams with extreme luminosities and ultra-bright beams of energetic radiation are ubiquitous tools for studying the structure of matter in a wide range of spatial and temporal…
