ALICE and EMMA are prototype particle accelerators at the Daresbury Laboratory, run by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).

Peter Williams showed us around during a daily shut down, when the high energy electron beam was shut down.

  • Niobium's use as a superconductor. It remains COOL! Entirely fascinating video.

  • @BackstageScience is it possible to make a particle decelerator?and what would happen if you made a particle accelerator in space ie is gravity in any way effecting results? great work and very intriguing it seems like one hell of a way to create and observe new particles

  • Weird, a few hours after I saw this, I came across an article about EMMA in the daily mail (ugh:) from 12th June

  • ahh, i was hoping you gonna shoot something with it, like a rat perhaps...

  • this guy looks like normen meyers in addams family. no offence..

  • whats with physicists and wrapping there vacuums and what not in aluminum foil?

  • Wonderful, as always. Looking forward to more!

  • Braces.
