AWAKE is CERN's plasma wakefield accelerator, a new breed of collider that can study fundamental physics in new ways. AWAKE's project lead Edda Gschwendtner explains how wakefield accelerators work https://www.newscientist.com/article/2360299-the-cern-particle-accelerator-that-will-breathe-new-life-into-physics/ | New Scientist

🤩 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory runs a linear particle accelerator. Today, scientists and engineers at SLAC use the accelerator to generate a very powerful X-ray laser. Such a refined X-ray light beam is used to penetrate deep into matter at the molecular and atomic level, and allows scientists to produce "movies" of the behavior of these atoms and molecules. Generally it's very difficult to look at atoms and see how they behave and that's why SLAC built this X-ray laser. Technically it'

Ongoing - Installation of a True Beam Linear Accelerator Cancer Machine (LINAC) at Uganda Cancer Institute. We are expecting 3 more of these machines and 2 High Dose Rate Brachytherapy machines to fill the 6 bunkers we constructed at the soon to be opened UCI Centre of Excellence in upper Mulago. The machines use beam radiation treatment by delivering high-energy electrons to the area of the patient's tumor e.g breasts, head, or lungs. This will save our people money spent abroad on specialized
