#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

After two decades of design and construction, linear accelerator Linac4 is on its way to join the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) injection chain. Find out more about CERN's newest accelerator: http://cern.ch/go/8qXB | CERN

Killing cancer cells with a linear accelerator, or linac, involves extremely precise and movable high energy beams of X-rays or electrons. #IAEA #CancerCare4All #RaysOfHope #atoms #atomic #atomicenergy #sciencefacts #scienceisawesome #scienceworld #nuclear #scientists #instascience #technology #scienceisbeautiful #cancerfighter #cancercure #radiotherapy #cancerdiagnosis #medicaltreatment #cancerawareness #cancerresearch #radiation #medicalimaging #medtech #ctscan #radiography #radiologylife | In

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.
