Improving Our Lives at the Speed Of Light: The impact of particle accelerators on medicine, industry and science
6401 Richards Avenue, Santa Fe
Event Description
Particle accelerators impact all aspects of our lives, from fighting cancer to processing food and enabling key scientific discoveries.
Simple accelerators can be as small as dental X-ray tools while large ones like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN can stretch over miles and cost billions of dollars. The talk will discuss the major accelerator types and how they work, outline their many valuable uses, and explore the future of accelerator science and technology. The Frontiers in Science lecture series are a public service of the Los Alamos National Laboratory Fellows. Fellows are appointed by the Laboratory Director in recognition of sustained outstanding contributions and exceptional promise for continued professional achievement. All lectures are open to the public and free of charge.
