    Undergrad Is it Safe and Worthwhile to Build a Homemade Particle Accelerator?

    I appreciate your input as this is a very serious project. I understand that this is a very complex and dangerous undertaking. I noticed that you have a PhD and i was wondering where you work ex. Fermilab, Stanford's LINAC. I was also wondering if you have an idea of a better project that would...

    Undergrad Is it Safe and Worthwhile to Build a Homemade Particle Accelerator?

    i was also planning on running this in my backyard as it is about 1/4 of an acre. By controlling it remotely, about 25 to 30 feet away using a switch board and a wireless camera. I would suppose this would eliminate the possibility of becoming in contact of any radiation, gamma rays and x-rays...

    Undergrad Is it Safe and Worthwhile to Build a Homemade Particle Accelerator?

    Yes i have prior experience with high voltage applications (examples, 900,000 Volt Tesla Coil-500,000 volt Van De Graaff generator. all of which i have built.) I am familiar with the fact that particle accelerators emit radiation. I would like some help and information about controlling the...

    Undergrad Is it Safe and Worthwhile to Build a Homemade Particle Accelerator?

    I'm a high school student and i have a great interest in particle physics. I'm looking to build a small linear particle accelerator. I have come across the designs attached i was wondering if there is a simpler design? I'm new to the forum so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
