The Higgs boson is the only fundamental particle known to be scalar, meaning it has no quantum spin. This fact answers questions about our universe, but it also raises new ones.
In the summer of 1952, physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Cosmotron particle accelerator were preparing for a visit from scientists planning their own, more powerful, accelerator at
In an attempt to help explain the benefits of basic research, scientists, engineers, and industrialists met for the "Accelerators for America's Future" workshop in October.
A report from the field on the vital roles that accelerators play in energy and the environment, medicine, industry, national security and defense, and discovery science will inform strategic plann
