#DidYouKnow linear accelerators are at the very core of CERN's accelerator chain, as the main source for ion and proton beams? 🎁As a treat for the holidays, you can now build your very own linear particle accelerator model! Instructions: https://scoollab.web.cern.ch/linac3D | CERN

Linac 4 has taken over from the retired Linac 2 as the first accelerator in the LHC injection chain! It has reached its first milestone to inject particles at an energy of 160 MeV and will contribute to an #LHC luminosity increase by 2021.

For cancer patients, linear accelerators (or LINACs) can be a game changer. These advanced machines deliver highly targeted radiation therapy, effectively destroying cancer cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. We’re proud to expand this technology to patients in Mercer and Lawrence counties. UPMC Hillman Cancer Center at UPMC Horizon–Shenango Valley recently unveiled its second LINAC, ensuring access to world-class cancer care in the communities people call home. When you’re facing
