superconducting linac

A superconducting linac, or linear accelerator, is a device that uses superconducting materials to accelerate particles, such as electrons or protons, to high speeds. By cooling these materials to very low temperatures, they can conduct electricity without resistance, allowing for efficient acceleration with minimal energy loss. This technology is often used in particle physics and medical applications, enabling researchers to create high-energy beams for experiments or treatments. The enhanced performance of superconducting linacs allows for more precise and powerful particle collisions, leading to advances in science and technology.
