HEP Highlights

A superconducting radio-frequency (RF) accelerator cavity is mounted and connected to a cryocooler, cooling the cavity without the use of liquid helium. This new device could make it easier to produce high-average-power electron beams for industrial applications.
All SRF particle accelerators to-date use liquid helium to maintain the extremely cold temperatures necessary for sustaining superconductivity.
This display shows an actual particle collision in the CMS detector resulting in the production of a Higgs boson candidate that subsequently decayed into two bottom quarks.
CMS observes Higgs boson decays into bottom quarks, furthering our knowledge of how the particles that make up matter behave.

Modern x-ray free-electron lasers use high-energy electrons to produce intense x-ray pulses to study the structure and behavior of matter. However,
