The paper , titled Fusion reactions from over 150 keV ions in a dense plasma focus DPF plasmoid , also lays to rest a long-standing scientific controversy with major implications for whether the DPF is a viable source of useful fusion energy . If fusion reactions in a DPF come primarily from an unconfined beam , then the fusion yields are unlikely to

UPTON, NY - A new collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and Best Medical International (BMI) aims to design one of the most dynamic and effective cancer therapy devices in the world. The ion Rapidly Cycling Medical Synchrotron (iRCMS) draws on the particle acceleration expertise of Brookhaven Lab physicists and the medical experience of BMI to advance cancer therapy, particularly the evolving use of carbon and other light ions.

Geneva, 20 February 2012. A new kind of conference will be launched next week in Geneva, uniting physics, biology and medicine for better healthcare. Starting on 27 February, the ICTR-PHE conference brings together the long established International Conference on Translational Research in Radiation Oncology, which has been held every three years from 2000, with CERN1's Physics for Health workshop, which was launched in 2010. A press conference will be held at 10:15 on 29 February at the Geneva International Conference Centre (CICG), and there will be a public lecture from renowned human oncologist Sören M. Bentzen at 6:30pm on Tuesday 28 February.

Geneva, 13 February 2012. CERN today announced that the LHC will run with a beam energy of 4 TeV this year, 0.5 TeV higher than in 2010 and 2011. This decision was taken by CERN management following the annual performance workshop held in Chamonix last week and a report delivered today by the external CERN Machine Advisory Committee (CMAC). It is accompanied by a strategy to optimise LHC running to deliver the maximum possible amount of data in 2012 before the LHC goes into a long shutdown to prepare for higher energy running. The data target for 2012 is 15 inverse femtobarns for ATLAS and CMS, three times higher than in 2011. Bunch spacing in the LHC will remain at 50 nanoseconds.
