Kelly leads a team designing a new system for the APS Upgrade, one that will extend the life of the electron beam that powers the facility.

Three early-career scientists received Argonne’s 2022 Maria Goeppert Mayer Fellowship for their outstanding potential. Today we reflect on her life and legacy and how it has paved the way for the next generation of scientists.

Ultrananocrystalline diamond films could be a novel breakthrough for accelerator cathodes, enabling better beams

More efficient beams thanks to nanoscale diamonds

Researchers discover method to describe cathode emittance of beams for wakefield acceleration

Detector algorithm based on machine learning will aid in 2027 upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider

While high-energy physics and cosmology seem worlds apart in terms of sheer scale, physicists and cosmologists at Argonne are using similar machine learning methods to address classification problems for both subatomic particles and galaxies.

An experiment at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator demonstrates the potential of a novel metamaterial structure to yield higher accelerating gradients than current particle accelerator technology provides.

The upgrade of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory will make it between 100 and 1,000 times brighter than it is today.
